Discover the power of poetry as a sacred practice in Poetry as
Prayer, a contemplative program that explores the intersection of
poetry and spirituality. Through guided reflection, reading, and
writing, participants engage with poetry as a form of prayer—one
that deepens awareness, nurtures the soul, and fosters a sense of
divine connection. Whether drawing from ancient sacred texts or
contemporary verse, this experience will guide you in using verse
as a form of meditation, devotion, and personal expression.
Join hosts Oscar Brockmeyer, Donna Dellacamera and a
welcoming community of seekers and explore how poetry can
open your heart, deepen your faith, and become a pathway to
inner peace. You are invited to bring a poem with spiritual
significance or write a poem of your own at each session. Sign up
today and step into the sacred rhythm of words! Participants are
invited to arrive at 12:30 for a brown-bag lunch and socialization.
Zoom option also available for those who are unable to attend
in person!
Suggested cost: $65
Alternate cost: $50
