I recently learned of an upcoming workshop at Big Downtown Cathedral, where I have attended many amazing workshops and events.

The workshop is on writing as a pastoral and spiritual practice.

Participants stay on the grounds of the cathedral which gives the week the flavor of a retreat. The group will have about 6 hours a day for individual writing, then 3 or so hours for group sharing and critique.

One of the workshop leaders is the wonderful Nora Gallagher.

The event is underwritten by Religious-Based Foundation such that the cost per participant is $300 for the week.

If ever there were a one-time opportunity to determine whether the low-residency MFA is for me, this is it.
