SUMMARY:On Spiritual Friendships: Meditative Talk\, The Meditatio Centre\, London\, England
DESCRIPTION:Though Thomas Merton craved the solitude of a hermitage and the silence in which “God shines there and is immediately found\,” his mysticism and writing life were deeply fed and influenced by special friendships that he developed both in person and through a prolific correspondence that connected him to writers and spiritual thinkers all over the world. \nSophfronia will discuss how we can find and nurture similar bonds today to the great benefit of our lives and work. \nPlease join us to spend the day looking at this beautiful topic together\, along with fellow meditators and seekers. \nWe will have the opportunity to meditate together and be together and drink tea and coffee. \nRegister: \n\nOn Spiritual Friendships

SUMMARY:Contemplation Talk\, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale\, New Haven\, CT
DESCRIPTION:The Color of Contemplation with Sophfronia Scott \n\n\nThe contemplative life is essential to grasping the wholeness that may heal divides. But what if contemplation means different things and looks like a different ideal in groups of various races and cultures? Does that mean our spirituality will always separate us? Does that mean we’re reaching for a unity that will always be beyond our reach? Author and spiritual writer Sophfronia Scott joins Executive Director Brandon Nappi for an engaging discussion at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale.

SUMMARY:Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop\, Dayton\, OH
DESCRIPTION:The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop marks its 25th anniversary this year and will keep the celebration going through next spring with a keynote lineup of bestselling authors and rising comedy stars\, hands-on workshops\, networking — plus the opportunity to laugh\, learn and be inspired. \nThe 2026 workshop\, set for March 26-28 at the University of Dayton\, will feature keynote speakers Kelly Corrigan\, Ann Garvin\, Sona Movsesian\, Steven Rowley and John Searles — writers whose work spans memoir\, fiction\, humor and media. Attendees will also choose from dozens of hands-on workshops with gifted faculty\, including former keynoters Annabelle Gurwitch\, Katrina Kittle\, Jacquelyn Mitchard\, Sophfronia Scott and the writing duo of Kathy Kinney and Cindy Ratzlaff. \nThe Art of Memoir: The Page as Mirror\nSophfronia Scott \nJoan Didion famously noted\, “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking.” That kind of writing can mean a precarious process. After all\, what you’re thinking may be unsettling! And writing has been compared to opening a vein and bleeding onto the page. But the journey of self-discovery need not be so dramatic — or traumatic. In fact\, it can be quite productive. Unpacking your interiority as you put words on the page may solve writing blocks\, present new ideas and result in deeper and more meaningful and authentic work. We will play with a writing exercise and think about how to observe your thoughts as you write. We will also discuss what to do with what you find in the marginalia of your brain. By embracing the unknown\, we may see that writing\, no matter the genre\, doesn’t have to be about opening a vein. It may be as simple as stepping onto a path and seeing where it takes you.

SUMMARY:Thomas Merton Society 2026 Celebration\, Sarum College\, Salisbury\, UK
DESCRIPTION:Fri\, 10 Apr 202614:00  Sun\, 12 Apr 202612:45\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that our 2026 Celebration will be held at Sarum College\, adjoining the close of Salisbury Cathedral. \nThe theme for our celebration is Embracing the Present Moment – Possibilities and Challenges  \nMerton wrote in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander: \nIn a time of drastic change one can be too preoccupied with what is ending or too obsessed with what seems to be beginning. In either case one loses touch with the present and with its obscure but dynamic possibilities. What really matters is openness\, readiness\, attention\, courage to face risk. You do not need to know precisely what is happening\, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment\, and to embrace them with courage\, faith\, and hope. In such an event\, courage is the authentic form taken by love. \nSpeakers include (in alphabetical order): \nMalcolm Cash – Provisional title: Lessons from Thomas Merton & Malcolm X for the Racial Possibilities and Challenges in America. \nVaughn J. Fayle – Provisional title: Thomas Merton and the forgotten Africa \nGary Hall – Provisional title: Seeing ‘the world that remakes itself without consulting us’: the bystander as teacher of attention. \nMichael W Higgins – Provisional title: Thomas Merton & John Moriarty: poetic visionaries of unity. \nDan Horan – Provisional title: ‘The Power of Hope Beyond our Control: Insights from Merton’s The New Man for the Present Moment.’ \nPaul Pearson – Provisional title: This Day Will Not Come Again: Living in the Present Moment with Thomas Merton. \nPaul Pynkoski – Provisional title: Creation\, Incarnation\, and Resistance in “The Night Spirit and the Dawn Air.” \nSophfronia Scott – Provisional title: As I Write This Letter…: Merton’s Model of Self Care Through Communication. \nBOOKING DETAILS – See below. Please book early to avoid disappointment.   \nNOTE: Bookings will happen DIRECTLY WITH SARUM COLLEGE. \nContact details for booking are as follows: \nEmail: ggifford@sarum.ac.uk \nPhone: (0044) 01722 424800 \nRef: MERTON CELEBRATION APRIL 2026 \n Other links: \nhttps://www.sarum.ac.uk/contact/ \nhttps://www.sarum.ac.uk/ \n*The Celebration is full board (breakfast\, lunch\, evening meal and refreshments)  * Various accommodation options\, including twin\, double and single  * Accessible lift *  Daily rates \nCOSTS –  For 2 nights\, full board\, en-suite: £255.30.  Because delegates present with different requests (e.g. double\, twin\, single\, etc)\,  you can  arrange with Sarum your preferred option. “Each room booking includes all meals and refreshments.   It will be possible to add extra nights before or after the Celebration.  This will incur the usual extra costs.

SUMMARY:The Sacred Art of Writing Residency\, Western Theological Seminary\, Holland\, MI
DESCRIPTION:Purpose: This Doctor of Ministry track will invite both established and emerging writers in multiple genres and contexts (those in traditional ministry and those whose work and writing moves them into broader arenas of service) to think deeply\, theologically\, and artfully about their work. As people whose very life arrives from the Word\, Christians ought to be those with the deepest reverence for language. Yet\, too often our writing is stilted\, banal\, cliched\, moralistic and bereft of the beauty and care our craft requires. If we are dealing with holy work simultaneously immersed in gritty humanity and divine transcendence\, then our writing ought to carry a haunting lilt while piercing the heart and the mind. The Sacred Art of Writing aims to walk with students into this joyful\, sacred calling. \nSophfronia will be a guest lecturer at this residency.
