Meaningful Life Center Events

### A Course of Love Study Group

with Susan Saunders and Diane McCutcheon
Tuesday evenings 6:00 to 7:30pm
beginning April 21, 2026

We want to emphasize that consistent attendance is not required, nor is it necessary to always have the material read in advance. Please come as you are able. Each gathering will stand on its own, and you will receive exactly what you’re meant to receive from whatever sessions you attend. The intention is to create a welcoming, flexible space that supports participation without pressure.

This group is a ‘Chapter a week’ exploration of a book that centers upon living from love, developing inner awareness, and learning through experience and relationship. We will discuss and explore its ideas of wholeheartedness over 32 weeks.
Each week, we’ll gather to discuss themes, questions, and personal reflections that arise from the material. Meetings will be discussion-based, allowing each participant to develop their own understanding and relationship with the text whilst learning from the perspectives and experiences of others and finding practical ways the ideas from the book can be lived in everyday life.
No prior experience with A Course of Love is necessary—only a willingness to read, then reflect, listen, and be in open, respectful, conversation with others.
The intention of this group is not to teach a doctrine or promote a belief system. Rather, the purpose is to create a welcoming space where participants can read, reflect, and discuss the themes presented in the text while exploring what meaning those ideas may hold in their own lives.
A Course of Love’s message invites readers into a heart-centered experience of unity, love, and true identity.
The Course:
Introduces heart-centered spiritual ideas.
Emphasizes “wholeheartedness”-the integration of mind and heart.
Discusses the dominance of the ego.
Duration: 32 weeks but weekly attendance is not required.
Structure: One chapter per week. Attend as you are called.
Each session will include a brief opening reflection, a short overview of the chapter, open discussion guided by thoughtful questions, and a closing reflection. The emphasis will be on conversation rather than instruction. We will serve simply as facilitators encouraging discussion, maintaining a respectful and open environment
