Read and Rest Circle
New! Let's try something different!
Read and Rest Circles: Read any book of your choice. We will read quietly in community for the first 45 minutes. The second 45 minutes will open up for discussion.
Belonging Books' Rest and Read Circle is BIPOC-centered space, designed as an intentional gathering space for people of color to rest and connect.
Writing Circles
Come write with the Belonging Books' community at The Hyannis Public Library from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 23.
This restful and low-key writing space is dedicated to our BIPOC community. So bring something you're working on or just come and explore writing in community!
Belonging Books also holds facilitated writing circles for middle school and high school students. Contact for more information.
Book Social
In line with the mission, Belonging Books' book social is designed as an intentional gathering space for women of color and gender non-conforming people of color with some similar shared experiences — to provide a safe space of support, expression and joy for people who may not feel like they have that space here on the Cape. It is meant to be a small sanctuary, a resting place, for people of color who can tire of assimilating, code-switching or constantly trying to keep people comfortable. In this space, whiteness is de-centered and the views and voices of people of color are centered.
We do not currently have a Book Social scheduled. Instead, check out our Read and Rest Circle - similar to a Book Social but a little less social! Contact us if you have any questions about any of our programs.
