The Rapture of Being Alive
THE RAPTURE  OF BEING ALIVE
Mary Oliver as Messenger of Life's Hidden Holiness

An Online Workshop
Saturday, April 30
11:00am - 3pm PDT

FEATURING
Jonathan Montaldo, Lynn Szabo, Sylvia Timbers, Penny Washbourn, Ari Wolfe, and a litany of Women’s Voices at St. Columba’s Inverness

In her poem “Messenger” Mary Oliver announces her work is “loving the world”. We celebrate her poetry and access her witness to Nature’s “hidden wholeness” through her disciplined discipleship in becoming a “lens of attention". Jonathan Montaldo hosts and presents her poems as spiritual exercises to experience Nature naturing, Holy Wisdom’s real work, to sustain our relationships with "the family of things”. Other voices read and ruminate upon Oliver’s poems as exemplary of her lyric art that questions our fears and too  narrow bandwidths for resonating with the “rapture of being alive”.

Mary Oliver's Devotions, the selected poems of Mary Oliver, Penguin Books 2020, is the source text that attendees should acquire to participate fully in the workshop.

Cost: $50 per person
