Abstract
Book Talk: Based on excerpts and writing prompts from the spiritual memoir The Sacred Shed on the Edge of the Ravine, Writing Your Sacred Story workshop encourages the use of writing as a tool for spiritual inquiry and development. Written responses to the prompts become the building blocks for an individual's own sacred story. The workshop is designed to help participants cultivate a heightened awareness of themselves as spiritually evolving entities in reverent relationship with all of creation.
