Daily Nourishment (and Announcements!) for March 1-31, 2025
Please visit the links below for this month’s SDW Daily Nourishment offerings using previous Spiritual Direction for Writers® posts or emails. Enjoy!
Please Note: The links are from the past, so any announcements in the links are most likely no longer relevant. And there might be some repeated Pauses, Prompts, and Practices here and there. Repeats are not a problem because every time you return to a familiar SDW Pause, Prompt, and Practice you bring a different version of yourself that’s been formed by all the things you’ve experienced, thought, discovered, gained, and lost since the last time you encountered the them.
Because all of life is the writing life and we are always being formed to make the art we will make when it’s time to make the art we will make.
Here are a few announcements that are definitely relevant for the coming days and weeks:
>>> Here’s a list of current SDW offerings
>>> NEW: Don’t Write Alone Spring 2025 Cohort applications open on March 14
>>> ONLINE: Thoughtful Readers Gathering Conversation: Tanya Davis and Threads: A Tapestry of Life in the Black Community of Shiloh and Beyond on March 10, 2025 (FREE; more Thoughtful Readers Gatherings announcements coming soon)
>>> Birmingham: Please join us for the next Magic City Reading Series gathering on March 13.
>>> Birmingham: Collegeville Pop-Up Writing Day on March 29 (FREE; 1:1 coaching sessions with Birmingham writers are full, but there’s plenty of space for co-writing and the 3 p.m. Plenary talk featuring Ashley M. Jones.)
>>> Birmingham: Happy Women Dinners BRUNCH with Actress/Author/Thought Leader Tina Lifford on Sunday, April 27 from noon-2 p.m. CT. Please email Jill@HappyWomenDinners.com to RSVP. ($125)
