What is contemplative writing? How is it different from other types of writing?

The Psalms were written by ordinary people as they praised God, lamented, asked God questions.

During this retreat – workshop, we will explore ways that we too can write to God – praise, lament, ask questions.

We will have quiet times to write as well as discussions of different ways to approach writing, and sharing of what we have written.

Come – dare to write what is on your heart.
