Exploring Poetry as a Spiritual Practice | November
2026-11-05 10:00 - 11:30
Exploring Poetry as a Spiritual Practice
Meets on Google Meet, First Thursday of every month, 10:00 – 11:30am
Not a writing workshop, not a book club, we are a circle of poetry lovers into whose midst the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit is invited. Our format is simple: we each share a poem that speaks to us on a spiritual level, taking turns reading our selections and sharing our reflections. Energizing and uplifting conversations emerge and, more often than not, so does a sacred theme that connects our diverse offerings. For more information, or to join the next meeting, contact Mary Stone, 480-993-4507.

Location: Google Meet
