Diffusions – Quill in Hand: Writers Seeking Balance with Benedictine Spirituality
With Julie Ferraro
January 13, 2024
This monthly discussion group will serve as a means for writers of short fiction, poetry, and novels to support each other as they deal with the struggles inherent to their creativity, while finding a source of balance in the Rule of St. Benedict.
The group will meet via Zoom on the second Saturday of each month.
Diffusions offers online programs to further opportunities for prayer, learning, community, and spiritual growth from a Benedictine perspective. We look forward to bringing Wisdom from the Center to you, wherever you are.
