Born to Belong
Born to Belong: Spirituality for Mammals is a paradigm for multigenerational spiritual community rooted in our emotional lives. Drawing on neuroscience and intergenerational learning theory, it reimagines worship, faith formation, and justice work as practices of connection, care, and co-regulation—reminding us that we don’t gather to perform our faith or perfect ourselves, but to share our deepest longings and needs.
