Poetry as Spiritual Practice - May 22, 2024

Join facilitator Gay Edelman for a 2 hour session exploring poetry as a spiritual practice!

The Poetry as Spiritual Practice eRetreat invites you to experiment with words as a way to deepen your connection with your Inner Guide. No writing or poetry experience necessary. Just bring yourself and writing materials.

 

In Poetry as Spiritual Practice you will:

  • Read and listen to poets who have come before, from Rumi to the Psalms to Ada Limon, Mary Oliver and others.
  • Write during the workshop in response to mindful writing prompts, with the option to read aloud.
  • Support positively others’ explorations of words and metaphors, and receive support.
  • Explore writing and reading practices that can deepen your everyday connection to Spirit as you understand Spirit.

Poetry as Spiritual Practice  is a one time eRetreat.  The pay-as-led registration fee is $20 and compensates the facilitator for their time and ministry.​ 


The generous support of the Friends Foundation for the Aging allows FGC to offer this session on a "Pay-as-Led" basis, meaning you can choose how much you pay to register.  We do this to remove economic barriers to participation.  We're also grateful if you feel led to pay more than the suggested fee to help better fund the Spiritual Deepening program and make it available to more participants. 

 

This Pay-as-Led participation fee contributes to the development to the Spiritual Deepening program materials and technology, supports the time and ministry of the facilitators, and also helps FGC to continue to develop and grow the program.  Our goal is to increase, over time, the depth of Spirit among individuals and Quaker communities.  


Please know that donations from individuals and foundations also help make the Spiritual Deepening program possible.  We're very grateful.
