Online reading group – Poems for Hope and Healing

Monday April 28th 2025

The Church’s Ministry of Healing: Ireland invites you to join a four-week online reading group, Poems for Hope and Healing.

Sessions will take place on Wednesdays May 7, 14, 21 and 28, from 7.30-8.30 each evening.

The organisers say: “Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you haven’t read a poem since school, or whether you enjoy poetry and would like to read it in the company of others.

“Each hour-long session will be an invitation to pause, reflect, and pray, and discover how reading poetry together can be a spiritual practice that helps us listen to our emotions, see the world in surprising ways, and open the doors of our own creativity.

“Our chosen poems, by Emily Dickinson, Wendell Berry, Denise Levertov, and many more, explore our relationship with the divine, and the healing power of nature.”
