Gathering Words for Winter III
Online with Tim Scorer
Five Tuesdays: November 1 – 29, 2022
6:00 – 8:30 pm Pacific Time
Now that the fall harvest is in …
we can give ourselves to the winter months when earth rests. Our bodies will be sustained through the time of hibernation, but what of our souls? What sustenance will we choose for the season when the ancient ones call us into the world where story, myth, and poetry are a sustaining power? Let’s take time to gather poems to take with us into the winter. Let’s follow the threads of five themes and see which poets emerge as our guides for these colder months. Let’s prepare to be surprised by the poetic instincts that rise in us when we take time to read poetry, share insights, and gather words for winter.
No previous participation in poetry groups is required. Poems for each Tuesday evening will be sent out ahead of each session.

Tim Scorer
is one of four program mentors in Pacific Jubilee SoulGuiding - a two-year experiential learning program in the growth of Spirit, the love of soul, and the art of spiritual direction. For 24 years, Tim was on the program staff at Naramata Centre and he has continued to offer program leadership at the Centre since he left in 2003. He pursues the mystery of life in his family life – now with five grandchildren – in his garden on Bowen Island, in contemplative practice, in his participation in the life of St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church, and in the adventures of cultural exploration he takes with his wife, Donna.
