The 5 Love Languages: Overview and Planning Session (No Reading Selection)
Details
Join us for a unique and empowering session as we flip the script on Gary Chapman’s classic framework. Instead of looking outward, we will focus on The 5 Love Languages: Self-Edition. We will explore how to identify your own primary languages to cultivate a deeper, more compassionate relationship with ourselves.
We will begin with an Overview and Planning Session on May 11, 2026, at 7pm CT and there will be no reading selection for our kickoff. This series of meetings to cover The 5 Love Languages is designed to help you stop waiting for others to fill your "love tank" and start taking agency over your own emotional well-being.

### Book Summary:
While originally written for couples, The 5 Love Languages provides a perfect blueprint for self-advocacy. By applying Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch to our own daily routines, we can combat burnout and build self-esteem. We will discuss how "Acts of Service" can mean prepping your meals for a stress-free week, or how "Quality Time" can be a dedicated morning of digital detox.
About the Love and Light Book Club: We take a slower approach to reading books. Instead of reading a whole book in a month, we break the book down into several pre-defined selections which allows us to take a deeper dive into the subject and discuss what we have read over several months. We also read more than one book per month which helps us synthesize different books on similar topics. Primarily, we focus on growth and development books, but we are open to different genres if there is a group interest.
Disclaimer: I am not a teacher, therapist, or the author of this book. I am an avid reader hoping to connect with other like-minded individuals that are focused on becoming the best version of themselves through intentional self-care.
