Workshop Description
Quaker Poet LVM, LaVerne Shelton, leaves with us poems she was “given”. An abiding Faithfulness to Spirit guided her journey. Via Lectio Divina sharing by first reading aloud, contemplating, then re-rereading together, gaining a deeper understanding,
love and appreciation of our Quaker Poet for ourselves and our Spiritual Community.
LVM and I met 24 years ago, and have been dear F/friends ever since. We assembled the first of what would become her 16 books of Spiritual Poetry. Sharing together, in turn, selected poems via the Lectio Divina style of reading aloud, contemplation, worship sharing then re-reading again, promises to enrich our Spiritual lives and our Faith communities as well, through the beauty brilliance and wisdom of these inspiring poems. Quaker Poetry is different than other poetry, it speaks more clearly to our condition in my experience.
