Waiting for Words: An Advent Writing Workshop with Lauren Winner 08 December 2026 Venue: St. Francis Springs Prayer Center Categories: Regional Workshop, Writing Workshop Waiting and generating; patience and urgency—these are all ingredients to the writing life, and, indeed, to the spiritual life. In this five-day workshop, we will enter the season of Advent with prayerful attention and focus, and we will both wait patiently for our words and undertake reading and writing exercises that summon our words. Some of our time will be devoted to being creatively nourished through short readings, and through engagement with visual art, music, and other artistic media; some of our time will be devoted to generative writing exercises. Some of our time, we'll be together in a group; some time, in solitude. Arrive looking for inspiration and nourishment, ready to write and to listen to the Spirit. Writers of all levels welcome.
