Creative Writing Quiet Day
Saturday 8 May 2010

Creative writing can be a vehicle for prayer and a means of developing a relationship with God. It can take many forms, from writing a diary or journal to poetry. It might be a way forward for you in your spiritual life: one you may not have considered before, or one you may have tried and given up.

It may be that you have never written much more than a shopping list or a note to the milkman, but writing could still be an opening to God that will surprise you! We can easily let our past educational experience lead us to believe that we can’t write, but this could be to lose a God-given gift. On the other hand, you may write frequently, keep a diary, write long letters to friends or even fiction or poetry, but have never considered writing as a way of prayer. Whatever your experience, this day event could inspire you. It requires no previous experience, although those with experience are welcome too.

The workshop aims to provide a means of encouragement and motivation. It gives an opportunity to make a start, restart or develop this aspect of your spiritual life.

The workshop will be led by Revd Paul Booth, an Anglican priest, spiritual director and group facilitator, with considerable experience in this area.
