This month in our book club, our theme is Women, family & Motherhood. We’ll explore the film Tully through the lens of womanhood, the mother archetype, and self-parenting—using the film as a way to understand ourselves more deeply.
Motherhood is often discussed through social roles and responsibilities, but we’ll step outside that frame and reflect on questions like:
• What does it mean that when a baby is born, a new woman is also born?
• How is motherhood a spiritual and inner transformation?
• What is reparenting, and how can we mother ourselves?
• Do we have to experience physical childbirth to be a “mother,” or can caring for the vulnerable—like supporting a friend, mentoring someone younger, or caring for an animal—also express the essence of motherhood?
• How are birth and creativity connected?
If these questions speak to you, bring your coffee (and maybe a friend!) and join us.
