Join Dr. Kathleen Henderson Staudt for a weekend of writing, prayer and reflection that will focus on the practice of “contemplative writing,” using the techniques of creative and reflective writing as openings into the life of prayer in our daily lives. Through examples and writing prompts, we will explore the experience of praying part of a day, praying in a place, writing about people or things important to us, and praying with poetry. The basic tools for the weekend will be a journal and something to write with. There will be stretches of free time for writing, walking and reflecting, and sharing will be optional but invited.
