Longing to belong

We are in the middle of a trilogy of topics that form a story. Our current series is around the theme of human flourishing. Last month we discussed beauty. This month we will look at how the role ‘home’ plays in our well-being. Then in June we will ask what roles do nature and nurture play in our lives?

What about a sense of ‘belonging’?

“Ah, it’s good to be home,” we say after a time of travel or business. We move to a new city or country and feel a disorientation or rootlessness. We lack a familiarity sense of place and relationships. The modern world is not a village where you know your grocer by their first name. Some may call it ‘home.’ But what is home: A building? A geographical location? A feeling in the heart and soul? A place populated by people we love or are perhaps related to? How about those who live in a country other than their country of origin: what might they think about the whole matter of home?

You are welcome to come along to discuss "Longing to belong" on Tuesday, 12.May at Third Space Smithfield.

NOTE: we ask for a 3 Euro donation to cover costs. Payable on the night by coin or Revolut. Thanks
