Winter Book Conversation - Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times
Fr. Gregory Boyle’s profound new book, Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times, invites us to nurture the connections around us and practice radical kindness in a tribal world that pits “us” against “them.” Join us for this warm winter Zoom gathering where we will reflect on Fr. Boyle’s wisdom and stories with the hope of seeing with new eyes and discovering practical insights for personal and communal wholeness. This inspirational text is an engaging and inspiring read. We invite you to enjoy the book and come to this conversation ready to share your favorite stories and insights, along with your hopes for how you can integrate its wisdom into your daily life. Our time together will be guided by Mabeth Hudson, one of the founders of the Well and a gifted facilitator and spiritual companion. Mabeth will lead us in exploring Fr. Boyle’s central themes —unshakeable goodness, belonging, affectionate awe, and the work of healing and wholeness. We will also enjoy time for personal reflection on how the book’s insights speak to our hearts, with the option to participate in small-group conversation.
