When secular communities struggle to create lasting meaning together

Our book club has been meeting for three years and we've gradually moved from novels to philosophy and spirituality, and now we're all admitting we're searching for something deeper than weekend discussions but none of us know what that looks like — and I can feel us getting stuck between wanting more community and being afraid of creating something that feels too much like the churches we've all left.

What we've seen

You're caught between the deep human need for shared ritual and purpose and the fear that anything too intentional will replicate the very structures you've consciously moved away from.
