To Bless the Space Between Us
St. Columba’s Inverness Poetry and Spirituality Series

“TO BLESS THE SPACE BETWEEN US”

with John O’Donohue ( 1956-2008) noted Irish poet, author
Saturday September 10, 10am-2pm PST

An Interactive Online Workshop
with Sylvia Timbers and Penny Washbourn

Inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Celtic Tradition and by the natural beauty of the West of Ireland, best-selling author John O’Donohue’s "To Bless the Space Between Us — A Book of Blessings" (2008) presents
words of inspiration and wisdom, comfort and encouragement for transitions in life’s journey. “Blessing” as a way of life is, for O’Donohue, a lived practice through which one’s life and the whole world are transformed.

This workshop will introduce the context and sources of O’Donohue’s understanding of blessing, we will read selected poems from “To Bless the Space Between Us” (Convergent Books, Penguin,) and invite participants to write and share their own blessings—blessings to ‘mind your life’ and to cherish. Together we will explore the themes of Beauty and Gratitude, Thresholds , Intimacy and Transformation for our work in the world.
