Poetry as a Spiritual Path with Robert McDowell

Description

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.
