Be Astonished! Free write your way

Be Astonished! Free write your way into a poem that will amaze you.

Writing can be a fruitful way of exploring our interior worlds and all its landscape, bringing to voice what, up to now, may have had no words. Together we will see what happens — we will be astonished!— when we write freely and then are confronted with lines and fragments from published poems, following them wherever they lead.

Join spiritual director, artist and poet, Heather Monkmeyer to experiment with this new prayerful and playful practice on Thursday, May 21st from 6:00-7:30 pm CST / 7:00-8:30 pm EST.

Whether you identify as a poet or you haven’t written a poem since the third grade, this is a perfect space for anyone willing put pen to paper. Bring a journal and a favorite writing tool. Let’s play together!

Thanks to the generous donations of others, this offering can be at no cost to you. There are also options for you to pay it forward, allowing us to continue offering such gatherings at no cost to those who join us, while also covering our costs.
