About this event

Striding Deeper into the World: Mary Oliver’s Poems as Wisdom for the Journey One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began… Kathie Collins writes, "Many years ago, in a Bible study group of all things, I encountered my first Mary Oliver poem. I don’t know whether it’s understatement or overstatement to say 'The Journey' changed my life. What the poem did was wake me up to a pattern I was living. It told me: You can make a different choice. Since then, it’s become an important talisman, returning me time and again to that quiet center of being where I find the wisdom and inspiration needed for my next turn on the spiral path." If Oliver’s poems have awakened, inspired, or guided your journey in some way—or you’d like to see how they might—please join us for an evening of reading, reflection, light sharing, and intuitive inspiration. Bring a journal to capture your thoughts. (In case you’ve missed the news, after a short run this summer in theaters, the documentary Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World releases to streaming services, including PBS Passport, on August 25th.)
