Words for a Wonderful Life!
Simple, feel-good group exploring words and wonder... and everything in between!
Words for a wonder-full life!
This project is about reclaiming a sense of wonder for the world. I want you to see and feel it again, for the first time, with new eyes.
These sessions are not about teaching you how to live the perfect life - what do I know about you and what you need, and what do I know about how to live the perfect life?
What I will try to do, is remind you - especially if you're down or discouraged - that the world is full of wonder, full of amazing things. It's easy to forget this, bombarded by constant trauma trivia as we are in the 21st century - but it's true!
I will point you back to this truth so you can see for yourself. Through the power of words, our engagement and imagination, we will open our eyes to the wonder-full world
Words for a wonder-full world, then, a reminder that we can celebrate beauty, wonder, flourishing, awe, encouragement, inspiration, dreams, desire, spiritual hospitality, harmony, benedire, passion, love, kindness, connection, brilliance....
One word at a time!
Introductions: Something beginning with ... H!
Wednesday 19th August, 7 to 8.30 pm (UK) - Free Session
A 90 minute free session to introduce my new group! Words for a Wonderful Life is a bi-monthly* series of 4-week discussion groups exploring life through a variety of beautiful and inspiring words.
The words we use and how we talk about ourselves and the world, makes such a difference to our experience, and one of my aims is to encourage us to be more conscious of what we say and, if we can, choose to speak it better - see "benedire".
We will also try, in a frank and feel-good way and without taking ourselves too seriously, to see and be more open to the ordinary wonder in our everyday lives. This may not be easy, but I know it is possible!
So, if this sounds exciting, please join me on 19th August and let's explore!
* bi-monthly as in once every other month and not twice a month! :)
Week 1 - Awe
One to two hour frank conversations with Frank! First 45 minute conversation is free!
Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer Prize for her wonderful 2009 book Olive Kitteridge. Marketed as a novel, but more accurately described as a collection of linked short stories, Olive Kitteridge is a superb work of fiction.
In this session, we'll focus on the story, "Incoming Tide" an exquisitely crafted story dealing with unbearable pain, death, love, opportune moments, and the value of human connection.
