Divinatory Poetics: Writing as Mystical Practice (starting at $199)
Uncover Divinity in the Ordinary! Join me in this riff on a mystical tradition, where the words of luminaries become a gateway into our mysterious imagination. How do we listen deeply—to language, to silence, to what stirs beneath the surface? This six-session workshop explores Lectio Divina as a creative practice, guiding participants through contemplative reading, poetic response and intuitive writing. Drawing from mystical traditions, poetry, and personal experience, we’ll engage with text as a living presence—something to be received rather than analyzed and approach our writing as an underground stream that flows through us. Each session will include immersive reading, somatic 'recoveries', writing and conversation. Alongside Lectio Divina, we may experiment with other intuitive methods of engaging with text, imagery and metaphor. Open to writers, artists, the curious and the skeptical. No experience required.
