I will be offering the following workshop at the 19th annual Women’s Spirituality Celebration on March 12th, 2011. This year’s theme will be Expressions of Authentic Feminine Voices and the title of my offering is Fanning the Feminine Fires: Finding your Authentic Voice through Poetry. Join me for 1 1/2 hours where we will gather to fan the feminine fires and find our authentic voice through poetry. Come play, write a poem; locate the lover, the mystic within. Poets are often mystics and mystics are often poets. Words weave pathways to inside, paint pictures of outside and settle between you and I like the gentle touches we long for. All levels welcome! Rumi was once a beginner…
