The Art and Experience of Writing Mystical Poetry

The Art and Experience of Writing Mystical Poetry


Find the time in your area HERE.

This 90-minute, interactive, three-session workshop will give participants an experience of mystical poetry and, in the process, describe the essential elements of mystical experience. To that end, we will be exploring the mystical nature of God, reality, aging, and activism. 


Poetry will be read in a sacred space to deepen its impact and provide a powerful stimulus for personal and spiritual growth. No prior experience with reading or writing poetry is necessary, but participants will receive guidance in writing their own mystical poetry.


All that’s required is an interest in poetry and curiosity about mysticism. We will also explore mystical poetry as a spiritual practice. The great mystical poets of the past – Rumi, Hafez, Kabir, and Gibran – left a tradition for others to follow. It’s time to bring the poetry of revelation to a modern audience.

Whether you do your eldering work alone or in socialized settings at workshops and meditation retreats, or through solo meditation and journal writing, remember that the work of integrating body, mind, and soul requires time and commitment…you can begin shaping your life into a noble masterpiece.”

 – Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

 

To support you on what Reb Zalman refers to as “this pioneering journey into your unmapped potential,” whether you are young or old, Sage-ing® International offers 3 categories of educational programs, each with its own unique flavor.

The Signature Programs

serve as an excellent introduction to sage-ing’s core topics (Images of Aging, Life Review, Forgiveness, Facing Mortality, Legacy, and Service).  They provide the tools and resources needed to explore the aging years in order to navigate the second half of life with greater understanding and purpose. 

 

The World Wisdom Programs

allow participants to explore cultural traditions and perspectives across the globe on aging and spirituality to deepen their understanding of their own aging years and to enhance their “Sage-ing tool-box.”

 

The Enrichment Programs

supplement and broaden SI’s range of educational opportunities by inviting guest presenters who are accomplished authors, innovators, Sage-ing® Leaders and other creative professionals, to facilitate workshops and webinars that reflect their areas of study and mastery of topics related to aging more consciously.
