Writing Groups
Our in-person and online writing groups give solitary writers a community. We spend part of our time responding to writing prompts and part of our time in facilitated feedback. Each writing group meets once week for 1 1/2 hours. Each session is six weeks long. Would you like to start writing, or to give your current writing practice a boost? Join us.
Discover Your Spiritual Autobiography
June 24 - 28, 2024
In-person retreat
What is your spiritual story? How has your understanding of God and yourself changed as your life has unfolded? Do your old ways of understanding God no longer fit? Are you struggling to find new language and new images for the divine? In this class we will explore our spiritual autobiographies. We will use techniques derived from contemplative traditions and freewriting from prompts to reflect on various stages of our lives. As we discover our stories, we can also find the freedom to tell new stories and delve more deeply into our relationship with the divine now.
