× Discover the power of contemplative looking and reflective writing in this 2 hour workshop with Mary Hall Surface. Inspired by six sculptural figures above the great altar in the Cathedral’s reredos, we will reflect on acts of compassion and moments of grace in our lives, communities and world. These figures invite and challenge us to consider how we might serve the greater good in our common life together.

Designed for everyone, not just “writers,” the workshop embraces close looking at art and inward looking through reflective writing for personal and spiritual growth. Space is limited for this in-person only workshop.
