SUMMARY:Thomas Merton and the Transformative Power of Love\, The Meditatio Centre\, London\, England
DESCRIPTION:“To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence\, for God is love.” \n–Thomas Merton \nThe Merton who lived as a contemplative monk studying\, writing\, and praying was also a man who could be impatient\, rambunctious\, charming\, deceptive\, in pain and\, yes\, in love. In other words\, he was completely human and in the vulnerability of that messy humanity he most felt the grace of God. How do we make this connection and sense God’s love for us? How do earthly and spiritual love fit together? We will consider these questions during our time together. \n10.30 am– 4.00 pm UK Time at the Centre and Online \nCost £40 \nConcessions £20 \nOnline £25

SUMMARY:Guild for Spiritual Guidance Retreat on Everyday Mysticism\, Litchfield CT and Online
DESCRIPTION:A Graduate Guild semi-annual weekend retreat with our presenter Sophfronia Scott\, author of the book The Seeker and the Monk: Everyday Conversations with Thomas Merton (Broadleaf Books\, 2021). This special event is sponsored by the Graduate Circle of The Guild for Spiritual Guidance and is open to everyone! \nMysticism is often viewed as the privileged experience of a few chosen\, holy individuals. However\, the Jesuit priest and theologian Karl Rahner wrote about “everyday mysticism\,” and Carmelite Sister Ruth Burrows described the mystical life simply as “God touching the depths of our being.” God is closer than we think–to all of us. But how can we become more aware of when the divine is near? We’ll explore everyday mysticism as life events filled with God’s unmistakable presence. Sharing Thomas Merton’s experiences and her own\, Sophfronia will help attendees notice\, identify\, and appreciate mystical encounters in their everyday lives. \nDate: Friday April 5\, 2024 at 4:00 pm to Sunday April 7\, 2024 at 1:00 pm\nLocation: In person at Wisdom House Retreat Center in Litchfield\, Connecticut and online via Zoom \nMore information about Wisdom House Retreat Center can be found here. \nRetreat Cost: $125 – $380 depending on accommodations \n\n**Update March 6\, 2024** – ALL RETREAT ROOMS HAVE BEEN BOOKED You may still register for the online Zoom option and Commuter Option\nRegistration Deadline for online Zoom or Commuter options: April 1\, 2024.\nYou may pay by PayPal or credit card using the options below. Please select only one option.

SUMMARY:Wabash Center Creative Writing Roundtable\, Chattahoochee Hills\, GA
DESCRIPTION:A Wabash Center workshop. \nThis writing workshop\, held at the Inn at Serenbe\, is for scholars of religion and theology who have written exclusively or primarily in the scholarly genre for other scholars of religion but long to share their knowledge or personal experience in a more creative way with a wider audience. \nMany scholars yearn to speak to a broader audience through creative nonfiction\, blogs\, op-eds\, and memoir. Many scholars want to write with more clarity and imagination. Participants in this workshop will develop their writing voice in service to topics they care about\, and for which they have passion and curiosity. A combination of plenary\, small group and individual instruction\, our week together will help scholars free the creative spirit\, structure their writing more effectively\, and speak on the page in a truer\, more engaging voice. Our focus will be on releasing the professors’ voice to the public square\, giving permission to be imaginative\, and finding new ways of being inspired.

SUMMARY:The Soul of Writing Nature and Spirituality: A Workshop\, Lansing\, Michigan
DESCRIPTION:We all have our own story\, a personal narrative of significant events or special encounters with the outdoor world that has shaped our spirituality. Writing it\, though\, presents a specific kind of challenge: We are trying to capture the ineffable in words. But if we choose the right words\, we successfully communicate our own faith and give others a way to access their own. Using as our model the writing of the monk Thomas Merton\, who had a particular divine connection to nature\, we will spend the day working with prompts and discussing the development of essays and memoir. The day will be led by Sophfronia Scott\, a Merton expert and director of Alma College’s Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program. \nRegister: \nhttps://admissions.alma.edu/register/?id=0f22ea43-61b2-4f0f-b6c9-4ae0fa4f91f0 \n
