  • The Power of Poetry: Using Creativity to Connect with Your Soul

    The Power of Poetry Online Workshop

    Online

    Join published poet Cindy Appleby and step out of your anxious, overthinking mind and into a space of curiosity and imagination. In this 4-week workshop (four Wednesday nights in October), we’ll explore a selection of beautifully accessible poems I’ve curated to engage with thoughtful prompts designed to help us uncover and reflect on the stirrings of our inner world—those quiet truths often hidden in the shadows of daily life. Together, we’ll celebrate the joy of creating in community. No poetry background required—just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore. Register

  • Finding Our Center in Shifting Sands: A Reflective Writing Workshop

    Online

    Join us online for this special workshop opportunity. In uncertain times, we need spaces to process our grief, concerns, and fears—while also nurturing resilience and hope. Finding Our Center in Shifting Sands is a guided expressive writing workshop that Perlie Davis and Cindy Appleby have designed as an opportunity for those seeking connection and emotional grounding in today’s turbulent political climate. Through reflective journaling, poetry, and shared conversation, we will honor our feelings, deepen self-awareness, and create a supportive space for healing. While this workshop is not about problem-solving, it offers an opportunity to find strength in the community. Join us in holding space for both our struggles and our capacity for transformation. The Zoom link and password is provided in registration confirmation. Register

  • Life Story Group Formation

For more information about how exactly LSGs work, please watch this video → Sign Up   Life Story Group Expectations/Recommendations Confidentiality. We agree not to share even bits and pieces of others’ stories with people who are not in the group. Even without names. Even without identifying details. Even with our intimate partners. That’s how hurtful gossip can happen. Non-judgement. This is trickier because we’re talking about what happens in your heart. One way to avoid the appearance of judgment is to avoid asking questions or making comments. Just listen through to the end then thank the speaker for their story. But you’re not on your own with any feelings and thoughts that might come up after listening! The skill of being a member of a community requires practice and support. Always know you can reach out to our minister or a […]
