a virtual series of six consecutive weekly conversations
with ann carden and friends
every Wednesday, March 6th th – April 10 th
7pm – 8:30 pm

“The holy is nothing but the ordinary held up to the light and profoundly seen.” (Rev. Dr. Kendyl Gibbons).

In six consecutive weekly gatherings, we will take the time to hold up to the light and profoundly see the holy in our lives. We will dare to reach deep within, to touch – gently, respectfully, thoughtfully – a lived experience – to travel deep into its emotional core, and, with whatever words arrive, to bring back to life that one magical moment in time.

Some remembered moments will bring laughter, some, tears. Some will spring back to life eagerly; some may need to be coaxed into the light. You will marvel at your courage, and smile at your folly. And you will come to see more clearly how the warp and weft of your lived moments has woven and continues to weave together the colors and the textures of your one unique, unrepeatable, irreplaceable, precious life.
While our journey together will involve writing, it will NOT be about grammatical correctness or poetic flair.  We will focus instead on …

• the extraordinary sweetness of ordinary things
• the surprising miracles within every-day taken for granted realities
• the utter fragility and remarkable resilience that define who we are
  
  Sharing your writing with the group will be welcomed, but not required. We will support one another in this tender task with:
  
  
• Deep listening,
• authentic sharing,
• unconditional positive regard for one another
• absolute confidentiality
