Open Writing Circle: Canticle of the Creatures Theme | Franciscan Spirituality Center
May 5 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This monthly gathering is open to anyone who enjoys writing and wants to meet with others in an atmosphere of respect and acceptance. Based on Natalie Goldberg’s basic principles of writing practice, we will write and listen. No critiques, no judgment. Sharing what you write is always optional. This is not a class, and it is not about learning “how to write.” The goal is to set free the writer within you through simply practicing writing. No experience is necessary!
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY: For the May session, we will incorporate a “Celebrating the Canticle of the Creatures” theme. Guided prompts will explore themes of gratitude, interconnectedness and care for our common home. Writers of all levels and anyone inspired by the beauty of creation and the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi are invited to reflect on the 800th anniversary of “Canticle of the Creatures.” There will be an opportunity to share your work both at this gathering and in electronic publications throughout the year.
Bring an open mind, a fast-writing pen and a plain spiral notebook. If you wish, bring a snack and/or a beverage.
Freewill offerings at the door are appreciated.
Registration is not required. Attend any or all sessions as your schedule permits.
