About the event
Poets Shana Rose and Julia Baker, chaplain at Mercy Hospital and St. Alban's parishioner, are hosting a new ecumenical ministry titled “Sacred Writings in Darkness”. It will be a time every month for guided sacred writing, like poetry, prayers, songs, or vignettes, etc, with a different theme every session. The gatherings are designed to help spiritually feed participants longing for respite from the chaos of our wider world right now. These sessions will begin with Julia and Shana providing simple grounding content like a prayer or brief message, and the rest will be for participants to write, followed by time at the end for participants to share their completed work. Contact sacredwritingindarkness@gmail.com or @sacred.writing on Instagram to sign up. We look forward to having you join us!
