Intimacy and Solitude – Writing to Transform
with Sue Reynolds
Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word “loneliness†to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude†to express the glory of being alone.
— Paul Tillich
Few things in life give us greater heights of joy or depths of frustration, sorrow and anger than do our adult relationships; but satisfying connection is the single most important predictor of health for us as human beings.
This six week course will use focused explorations and writing as a way to explore participants’ relationship to the dual concepts of intimacy and solitude.
Participants do not have to have previous experience with writing – just a strong desire to engage with the powerful questions that can transform their understandings and experience of both Self and Other.
Facilitated by Sue Reynolds
