A Speaker is a Wilderness: Poems on the Sacred Path from Broken Whole , this Rituawell Event aligns with the month of Elul, a time of introspection and reflection in the Jewish calendar. At this moment in Jewish time, we re-examine our spiritual goals in order to get ourselves ready for the Days of Awe. Learn innovative and nourishing approaches to engaging with sacred texts and connect with your own sacred wisdom, transforming it into poetry. For new and seasoned writers alike. No prior writing experience necessary.
This event will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
