A Spiritual Journal Workshop on Zoom

Marilyn McEntyre, PhD
AN ONLINE THREE-WEEK COURSE
Mondays
October 21, 28 & November 4
4pm—6pm PT
Following her successful St. Columba’s 2023-24 workshops on Writing into the Unknown and “Approaches to Writing your Spiritual Autobiography” this fall Marilyn will present an online three-week series of workshops to focus on personal writing as a spiritual practice—journal, memoir, or personal essay. We’ll look at some of the purposes of such writing, a variety of ways to approach it, and how it can at times become an important dimension of prayer.
