2025: The chosen books & live call dates

Theme: Acceptance

Welcome to our book club!

As we step into 2025, our book club will embark on a transformative journey with the theme of Acceptance. This year, we’ll dive deeply into what it means to embrace ourselves, others, and the complexities of life with openness and compassion. Acceptance is not about resignation but about finding the courage to face reality, heal, and grow. It is a gift we give ourselves—a way to unlock inner peace, nurture relationships, and live authentically.

Through a carefully curated selection of six books, we’ll explore different facets of acceptance: self-worth, healing, emotional growth, and spiritual awakening. Each book will guide us, page by page, towards deeper self-understanding and greater harmony in our lives.

(Zoom calls will be shared closer to the time of the call.)
