What makes a friendship truly nourishing — one that lasts through change, distance, and imperfection?

In this Reflect & Connect session, we’ll explore the psychology and quiet wisdom behind The Secrets of Successful Friendships by The School of Life.
Together, we’ll reflect on what it really takes to sustain closeness — not just in good times, but through misunderstanding, disappointment, and the natural ebb and flow of life.

You’ll move through a series of gentle written prompts and small-group conversations exploring themes like:

  • What emotional needs we expect friendships to meet — and which they can’t
  • Why some connections feel “easy,” and others always take effort
  • How envy, comparison, and pride quietly strain closeness
  • What honesty and forgiveness look like in mature friendship

No prior knowledge of the book is needed — just curiosity and openness. This is not a lecture, but a guided reflective workshop combining insight, conversation, and personal reflection.
