Writer's Crawl
Come share in a relaxed setting where gentle writing prompts are offered as we move in and around the chapel and gardens. There will be a low stress opportunity to share your work.
In this tranquil setting, we will explore writing as a form of meditation, or a way of remembering. Your writing may be inspired by contemplation of these holy places or just by making space to put pen to paper. We’ll provide structure for the morning, and you’ll have the company of others who are also listening, seeing, meditating, and writing.
Bring a journal and pen (or whatever you enjoy writing with and writing in).
