Sky, Sun, Sea, & Stone: Celtic Spirituality and Creative Writing

Join us for a 4-session journey into the heart of sky, sun, sea, and stone as guides for our journey towards greater creativity in our lives. We will follow the inspiration and guidance each of these elements offers through its wisdom for our creative work in the world. To deepen our appreciation of how the elements each call us in unique ways, we will also draw on Celtic spirituality and how the Celtic imagination helps us to behold sky, sun, sea, and stone in renewed ways.

** This is a Previously Recorded Workshop**

Christine Valters Paintner will lead you through a series of reflections on Christian mystics and contemporary poets, myth, stories of the saints, meditations, creative writing explorations, and embodied practices to help you connect to the element we are considering and drawing on it as an ally for your creative process.

You will be invited to listen deeply for the ways that air, fire, water, and earth can support you in becoming a feather on the breath of God, in discerning your passion, in hearing your call to follow the flow, and in becoming deeply rooted. Each week offers a feast of creative pathways to encounter the richness waiting within you.

You do not need to be a writer to join us. The writing explorations are meant to be generative. We do not workshop and critique, we open doorways into new stories and possibilities.

The content and writing exercises will be different from The Spiral Way program Christine offered in February 2021 at the Rowe Center.
