About Communal
A collaboration between Sanctuary Homes and Recess for Revolution, Communal is a virtual book club centered on healing in, with, and through community. The experience is BIPOC led, and all are welcome.
What to expect?
We’ll be reading and discussing All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks. The themes that we’ll explore are:
How does love live in community?
How might we practice radical love in the midst of oppression?
How might love be a path towards liberation?
How might the power of love transform us?
During the book club, we’ll be guided by a lead facilitator, Danielle Miller, in a safe container for vulnerability, connection, and reflection. There will be small breakout groups (“pods”) led by 3-4 volunteer moderators to allow for deeper and more intimate discussions.
This event is limited to 25 attendees. Please RSVP to confirm your attendance.
(You’ll receive a Zoom invite within 1-2 business days of registering.)
How to Prepare
Please finish (or at least start) the book to allow for thoughtful discussion
Join from a quiet space with stable internet connection
Bring a journal if you’d like to write and reflect
Who is this for?
This liberation-based book club is for individuals seeking knowledge, conversations, and a safe space to reflect, heal, and grow in order to create positive change in our personal lives, community, and local ecosystem. In times of instability and fear, how might we resource and liberate ourselves and others in pursuit of a more just and regenerative future?
