With regard to any keys to Godwriting, I think that there needs to be a certain readiness, or receptivity to the concept of Godwriting and the willingness to try it. Looking back over my experiences of the past 59 years, I would have to say that regular meditation has created a fertile ground for Godwriting. Another key is in creating a space with loving people who accept us as we are and who encourage us to be honest with ourselves. When we are really honest with ourselves, then we are more open to hear what God has to say to us. The ultimate key to everything is love, and love naturally grows when we hear repeatedly from God how much he loves each and every one of us.

One thing that stood out for me at the workshop was the quality of community feeling that was generated during the two sessions. It was easy to relate to each other based on the Godwriting that was shared and the common experiences. So many of the shared experiences applied to everyone in the group. The workshop was wonderful as it was. If I were to do anything differently, I might try having more time for Godwriting alternated with sharing and talking about our experiences of Godwriting.

After one week of Godwriting, I feel a greater integration within myself, and it is easier to express myself in general. It feels natural to me to experience God in the context of my religion, and therefore I have a tendency to also relate Godwriting to my religion. Although anyone can Godwrite without associating it with religion, for me it is just so natural and makes the experience of Godwriting fuller and richer. Conversely, Godwriting also makes the experience of my religion fuller and richer as well. For me, the two are mutually reinforcing.

In the first session of the Godwriting workshop, Gloria, you said something about how the most difficult part of the workshop for you was publicity. Do you remember what God said about that?

Have you thought about doing any online workshops? Maybe webinars or teleconferences?
