MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
Topic:
Poetry as
a Spiritual Practice
Robert McDowell
 |
LECTURE & WORKSHOP:
Poetry is
everywhere in our lives. It is available to everyone and enriches
everything we do. A poem truly heard has the power to deepen our
spiritual practices, unravel core mysteries and guide us through daily
difficulties. We will facilitate the magic of poetry in tonight's presentation.
Poetry
also allows us to solve problems and confront our greatest fears. Everyone
has a problem and most of us have many of them. No matter how good
we look to so many, there's always something. It can be relatively
mild, such as an inability to grasp the simplicity of a particular computer
program. It may be that we don't like golf, tennis or spelunking as
much our partner. Or it can be a darker, corrosive secret we've
harbored since childhood.
In this workshop, we will experience
the power of poetry to enhance awareness and move through obstacles.
Author of Poetry
as Spiritual Practice: Reading, Writing, and Using Poetry in Your Daily
Rituals, Aspirations, and Intentions (Free Press/Simon & Schuster
2008) Robert McDowell's talks, retreats and workshops transform
listener-participants in lasting ways.
"Robert McDowell--a big, hearty, handsome man is also subtle,
sensitive, a winged gift. His is the very spirit of poetry and
sumptuous prose. He is a wordsmith and a soul crafter of the highest
order and his talks and seminars are veritable temples of magic wherein words
become wands. If ever he is in your community for a talk or
workshop, go! You are boring God if you do not take the luminous
opportunity that is time spent with the magnificent Mr. McDowell." -- Jean
Houston.
