A Place to be Real Together

Poetry and the Soul

Retreat with four beloved spiritual poets

 

Thurs 4 Apr - Sun 7 Apr 2019

Only 2 twin rooms available on this event! :-D

 

A retreat on which we will read together the words of beloved spiritual poets, especially George Herbert, RS Thomas, Elizabeth Jennings and Mary Oliver. Our guide is an Othona favourite who has led a number of poetry retreats and courses here, Graham Fawcett.

This is an opportunity to hear the poems deeply, reflect on them, and, if and when we wish to, share the insights they encourage in us. It is very much a reading together, and not an academic exercise, so you’re not expected to analyse poems in a literary way. Instead, we can concern ourselves simply with the ways poetry can speak to our deepest selves.
