Cherished Belonging – the divine feminine in our world

Join us for this online book circle exploring the power of love in our divided world.  

As we explore Greg Boyle’s latest collection of stories about living and working with the community of Home Boy Industries in Los Angeles, we will listen contemplatively for the invitations that are for us as individuals navigating our world. What lens do we wear when standing with others who are so very different from us? 

We will consider notions such as radical inclusion, finding grace in human brokenness, and living on the margins of society. Each week we will explore the perspectives and ways of being that play a role in fostering true, inclusive community. With readings from the mystics and the divine feminine scriptures reflected in Greg Boyle’s ministry, we will listen deeply to the healing shared both in the stories, and our very own  personal prejudices and exclusionary labels.
