The Ocean of God’s Love
A Men's Writing Retreat Inspired by Rumi

You’re invited to join us for our annual writing retreat this coming January 10-12, 2025 at the Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning.

At this year's in-person writing retreat, we will open our hearts to the words one of the most beloved poets of all time. Rumi may have lived an ocean away, yet his metaphors and vivid images of life, love, and God are as stirring today as they were when he wrote them 800 years ago. We will seek to let this poetic mystic illuminate our lives as we follow his universal call and share the specifics of our own stories. Capturing our thoughts through poetry and journaling, we shall connect with other men throughout this engaging weekend retreat. LEARN MORE & REGISTER
