Speaking with Spirit

Written on:

An Online Poetry Immersive with Jesse White

Connect with Spirit through reading and writing poetry.

As we move through themes connected to our relationships with Divinity in our writing practice, we will journal and explore various forms of poetry. New to poetry? No problem! This course will accommodate everyone, from those with little experience to experts at reading, understanding, and crafting poems. Spirit meets us where we are and may speak to us in parables and poetry. We will meet Divinity and each other with the same loving spirit.

This program concludes with a two-hour poetry reading, at which all participants are invited to share something they have written during the program.

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Poem 2020

Our Annual Sessions poet-in-residence, Zenaida Peterson, will weave
together a yearly meeting POEM based on your reflections!

All ages are invited to participate and Families with children can work together. You can assist younger children in writing their lines of poetry, or scribe for them. We hope everyone in a household will share as they are led!

The queries

How do we find Spirit in the shadows during this time?

What does it mean to be Faithful now?

  • Pick one of the queries to reflect upon. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
