17th Street Book Club - Session 1

  • The Flourishing Way 245 West 17th Street Houston, TX, 77008 United States (map)

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

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

Step into a space where voices are heard and stories are shared. Our woman’s book club offers more than just literary exploration—it's a sanctuary for navigating the challenges and triumphs of womanhood through a therapeutic lens. From empowering memoirs to insightful fiction, we delve into the heart of the female experience, fostering understanding, healing, and solidarity. Join us in embracing the power of literature to inspire, uplift, and connect.

Each session will focus on a theme divided into three parts. Join us for one book or all three. Whatever works best for your schedule. All we ask is that you read or listen to the book before attending the gathering — this keeps the integrity of the group and helps expand the conversation in powerful ways.

 

Session one kicks off with:


On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good - Elise Loehnen

In On Our Best Behavior, Loehnen reveals how we’ve been programmed to obey the rules represented by these sins and how doing so qualifies us as “good.”

This probing analysis of contemporary culture and thoroughly researched history explains how women have internalized the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it.

By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover the integrity and wholeness we seek.
