In this course, you will explore inner landscapes.   

Through journaling, drawing, and sharing, the class will ask together questions befitting of a tree:

Rooted: How can we steady ourselves amid stress and turmoil by sinking our roots deep into the nourishing soil of the Spirit?
Growing: How do we grow through the Spirit’s transforming power to create us anew?
Reaching: How does the Spirit invite us into creative action?

Alongside the writings of Wendell Berry, Ram Das, David Wagoner, George Ella Lyon, Muriel Barbery, and Mary Oliver, you will have the opportunity to journal, draw with ink and charcoal, and share your stories with others in the group.
