A Conversation with Charlotte Donlon & Hallie Waugh

About this event

An evening in conversation with spiritual director and author Charlotte Donlon and writer and poet Hallie Waugh. Charlotte's new book Spiritual Direction for Writers is getting high acclaim: "Donlon explores how writing thrives in the unfinished. For anyone feeling destabilized in their life and creative practice, this big-hearted, down home book offers rituals and companionship at any stage of the process. Featuring five embodied currents 'Begin,' 'Belong,' 'Become,' 'Behold,' 'Bestow,' this book works. It brought me back to the page after five years, three babies, and post-MFA burnout. I have many excuses, and as a self-proclaimed 'thriver in overwhelm,' contemplation often feels like a past time for me. And yet Donlon says, 'Contemplation is not about emptying the mind but filling it with holy attention.' Writing is part of your soul, it should feel that way." Pre-orders of the book help us prepare for the evening.
