"Sarah Fordham in her understated yet expert way discovered and made available John Paul's verse for honest, freeing and participative spiritual growth - as well as succour. The amazing range, perception and richness of the responses of workshop participants has so far proven Sarah's case for the pastoral use of JP's verse." Karolina Stolarska
22 Jan 2011: A group of 14 people, with no previous knowledge of KW's poetry, and from different Christian traditions, gathered at Eden Hall in Kent. A part 2 was requested and while take place in early March.
Some feedback:
"I enjoyed the variety of poems, insights and inspiration I received throughout the workshop."
"Some of the material was mind-blowing."
"The context provided seemed to provide stepping stones into the heart of the poems."
"The workshop de-mystified the whole area of poetry and encouraged me to explore my own creative voice within. Sarah's enthusiasm, clarity and expression was so easy to listen to."
"I found the presentation 'alive' ... stimulating to discover more of this 'mystic' poet - a new avenue for Lectio Divino - thank you."
"Was absolutely riveted by your workshop."
"Nearly every line is a journey of contemplation."
Forthcoming workshops:
26 March 2011, 10am-1pm, Kilburn (Contemplative Spirituality Network)
