Workshops for a Deeper Personal Understanding

You didn’t come here for safe. You came for movement. Here’s your weekly nudge.

Listen to Yourself

Hannah Rowen Fry invites participants to be present in the moment with the presence of God. Experience the simplicity of guided reflection, moving thoughts from head to paper in this contemplative writing practice. Enjoy a moment of peace and stillness. Leave feeling lighter and equipped to receive what’s next.

Reclaim Your Story

Zach Helton leads this workshop for anyone looking to transform narratives that once felt binding—or even shaming—into living resources for healing and courage. Zach provides practical tools to move from “cringing” at your tradition to creatively reclaiming it. It’s an invitation to stop grieving the stories you’ve lost and start reimagining them as catalysts for your own spiritual liberation.

Write Your Lyric

Cheryl Wilder invites us to explore our inner lives, which are mysterious to us and beyond our control. The function of the personal lyric, broadly speaking, is to help us express and regulate our emotional lives, which are confusing and sometimes opaque. In this workshop we learn how to “translate” our emotions into language and actively make them into a poem.

This year’s Goose is writing something wild and wondrous. You in?
