About the Event
Encountering the Spirit with Nature Writers
In-person only; led by Pat Zimmer
Writers as diverse as Edward Abbey and John Muir, William Blake and Wendell Berry kindle awe in their readers, each in their own way. These nature writers can be philosophers, outdoor adventurers, scientists, or mystics, and the Spirit speaks through them all.
Together, we’ll read and reflect on writings from several authors and discuss how nature writing can help us encounter the Spirit.
