Beloved: A Communal Exploration is a hybrid multi-session reading and discussion series focused on Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved. While many readers are familiar with the book, some find it challenging and welcome the opportunity to read it at a slower pace within a supportive group setting. This series creates space for reflection, shared insight, and conversation about both the brilliance of Morrison’s writing and what the novel means to readers personally.
The series will consist of recurring hybrid gatherings, with some sessions held virtually and others in person. Meetings are expected to take place on Thursdays from 6:30–8:00 PM, with anticipated discussion dates on March 12 and 26, April 9 and 23, and May 7 and 21. The group will launch in February 2026 via email newsletter, with book discussions beginning in March 2026. An additional in-person gathering is planned for July 2026, with the location to be determined.
This series is free and open to adult participants.
