Join Our Women's Book Club: Deep Reflections & Community

Brought to you by Jamie Fletcher and Sevren Lab of The Flourishing Way.

Join us every six weeks for a unique gathering of women dedicated to exploring our roles, values, and purpose through the power of literature. Our book club is more than just a reading group; it’s a space for deep reflection, meaningful conversations, and intentional community-building. Each meeting revolves around a thoughtfully chosen theme, with curated reflections designed to help us connect on a profound level.

Together, we will nurture our shared passion for learning and growing, creating a supportive environment where every voice is heard and valued. Let’s embark on this journey of discovery and empowerment, one book at a time.

This summer series is focused on Crisis vs Awakening.
In moments of crisis, we are often forced to confront the deepest parts of ourselves—our beliefs, our identity, our purpose. These books explore the powerful intersection of chaos and transformation, where struggle meets awakening. Each story is a journey of re-evaluation, a catalyst that pushes characters (and readers alike) to re-examine what they know to be true. In these defining moments, strength, resilience, and self-discovery emerge. Are crisis and awakening two sides of the same coin? These novels ask that very question, inviting readers to reflect on their own pivotal moments of transformation and the hidden power that rises in times of adversity. A perfect series for those who crave both a challenge and a revelation.

June Series

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in an entirely different journey.

Miranda July’s second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July’s wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.
