Writing as a Spiritual Practice with Emily Savin

An afternoon workshop using writing to learn from the divine spark in ourselves and others, with Emily Savin.    

In this workshop we will learn from the divine spark in ourselves, and bear witness to that in others, through guided writing exercises in a playful and worshipful space. Writing as a spiritual practice is an individual act that can open us up to unexpected wisdom from within. Like silent worship, it takes on beautiful new dimensions in community. Witnessing each other’s writing allows us to glimpse the that-of-God in one another and in ourselves, an experience that can be inspiring, moving, funny, and surprising. Many of us carry wounding around writing, and have had our creativity damaged by critical words and red ink “corrections.” Reluctant writers are particularly invited to this workshop, as this is a space in which anxious writers often find confidence. Other people who are warmly invited include confident writers, joyful writers, blocked writers, writers who don’t dare call themselves writers, neurodivergent writers, writers whose first language is not English, writers who don’t like to sit still, and you.
