Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love - Virtual Study Group

Imagine a world where everyone feels deeply known, unconditionally accepted, and powerfully connected—where love becomes the lens through which we see each other, healing divides and transforming lives. Cherished Belonging by Gregory Boyle invites us on such a compassionate journey, guiding us to rediscover our shared humanity in times of division and pain. Over five weeks, this virtual study group will explore the heart of Boyle’s message: that we are all inherently good, we belong to each other, and that kindness in action can radically transform communities. Through stories, music,  reflection, and meaningful dialogue, participants will be inspired to live out belonging and love as a radical defiance against the forces that separate us.

Session 1: We Are Loved (Introduction & Chapter 1)

Session 2: Unshakable Goodness (Chapters 2 & 3)

Session 3: We Belong to Each Other (Chapters 4 & 5)

Session 4: Called to Love (Chapters 6 & 7)

Session 5: Only Us (Chapters 8 & 9)

This study group is designed to engage participants actively through storytelling, discussion, and personal reflection to foster a deeper understanding of love’s power to heal and unite.
