SUMMARY:Opening to Your Soul’s Creative Rhythms: A Contemplative Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Poet and author John O’Donohue was a proponent not only of living according to your soul’s rhythm but also birthing expressions of our sacred essence. In writing our stories\, we collect fragments of our lives\, ordering them in such a way as to know who we truly are and Whose we are. \nThis contemplative writing retreat will braid Centering Prayer sessions\, writing prompts\, communal prayer\, talks\, personal writing time\, and sharing in support of diving deep and bringing to light the silly\, heartbreaking\, touching truths of our lives. The weekend will remind us that we are never closer to our Creator than when we are creating. So come\, bring your stories to life.
