Ca-W10 Sacred Poetry
Early 4 Week Class | Registration opens Saturday, August 1, 2026 12:00 AM
A connection to Spirit can be expressed in many ways. Whether you are honoring a higher being, or wish to honor your own intuition, the inspiring devotional poems of Kabir, Mirabai, and Hafiz can teach you to listen to our own heart. These poems can inspire us to live with a sense of service, joy and contentment.
In the course we will read and explore these poets’ yearning for connection, love and surrender to their chosen deities. By observing their wisdom and learning how to tap into our own selves, we can strengthen and enhance our unique spiritual path.
We will have the opportunity to journal, meditate and share in small groups as we learn ways to connect, share, volunteer, create and build our lives as fully as possible.
