We meet the first Tuesday of the Month at 7:15 pm. Group members take turns leading discussions, giving presentations and reading a bit of work. A ten minute writing exercise is part of the fun. Copies of work in progress can be passed out to be taken home for comments.
The Writer's Circle
The First Tuesday Writer's Circle is a place where experienced and
beginning writers meet, experiment, share work and discuss
writing insights and spiritual growth.
"If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, -- quieter, warmer." -Dag Hammarskjold, Secretary General of the United Nations, Nobel laureate (1905-1961)
Spiritual Practices
Could your spiritual practices use more...um...Practice?
We're doing a 4-week Lenten Series on Spiritual Practices beginning Friday, February 23 from 1:30 to 2:30.
Each week we'll have a 10 minute presentation by different people, followed by discussion. The themes include The Names of God, Healing with Illustrated Journaling, Creating Sacred Space, and Repentance.
Words Made Flesh
Give yourself the gift of time. Time to write, draw, paint. Re-create. Time to sit quietly and listen. How can you hear God, when you can't even hear yourself think? Come to The Word Shop on the second Tuesday of the month from 12:30 to 2:30. We read the next chunk of John's Gospel and then write, draw, paint, or just sit. Some people work on ongoing projects. Others flow with what happens in the moment. After a time apart, we come back together and share the fruit of our experience. You are welcome to join this small, friendly group.
"For me, writing is exploration; and most of the time, I'm surprised where the journey takes me."--Jack Dann

Melding creative and spiritual work is the keynote of all the classes and workshops held at The Word Shop.
