In this workshop, we will write poems inspired by some of the great mystics of the past and present. We will not deny difficult personal or social realities, but move through them to find meaning and epiphany. From Rumi through John Donne and George Herbert to R.S. Thomas, Marie Howe, Naomi Shihab Nye, we will explore ways of finding radiance, faith and the sacred in the most challenging of circumstances. Derek Walcot claimed 'Poetry is a form of prayer.' Come and immerse yourself in words and silences that reveal the life of the spirit within the every day and show you how to turn writing into a daily practice of revelation and affirmation. 

Previous participants have described this course as 'absolutely excellent', 'transforming', and 'nourishing and inspiring'.
