REGISTRATION ⇩
Brothers,
Join us as we gather this January with other men also on a spiritual journey for a retreat focused on inner transformation and the power of writing and poetry to make this possible!
The Men Writing for Change 2020 retreat will take place at the Bergamo Center at Beavercreek near Dayton, Ohio. This year we will be delivering an entirely new program with rituals, councils and writing prompts created to further the development of our spirituality.
Fear not! This retreat is open to all men on a spiritual journey and there is no need for you to be an accomplished writer or poet. We seek to create a welcoming environment in which you can discover the poet living inside of you.
Brothers,
Leonard Cohen sings:
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
We hope you'll join us for this retreat as together we seek the wisdom within the words our souls speak to us through silence, song and ritual.
Registration is now Open!
