Journaling with Living Resistance by Kaitlin Curtice (Thursday Evenings)

Journaling can be practiced as a spiritual discipline and prayer, a way to process the Spirit’s stirring in our lives. Paying attention to moments, words, music can nudge us toward creating, so that we too can participate in the conversation. Creative journaling is a way to mark this holy work.

Join Vonda Drees in this online course and conversation to engage imagination, attentiveness, and the creative process while reading Kaitlin Curtice’s book, Living Resistance: An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day. 

We will gather in a Facebook group set up by Vonda one week before the session begins. Within this space, you will be invited to share the images you create along with any reflections. This space is intended to be representative of our journey together as a group and individually as we read and creatively respond to the text

Our zoom online gatherings will give us the opportunity to meet in real-time and talk about any insights, revelations, and meaningful experiences from the previous week. While these gatherings are not for instruction, you are always welcome to ask questions about process.

From the back cover:

“In an era in which “resistance” has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors’ holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.

Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four “realms of resistance”—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral—and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Readers will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.”

The Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants upon registration.
