I am certainly interested in the Sophiology course in September. However, I would need to know whether it will demand me being on zoom or more engagement than reading and listening, at a distance. I find zoom deeply draining and have unpredictable good and bad days emotionally so have learned that I can not be depended upon as a deep dive participant so must give you fair warning of this 🐈‍⬛

In the course I'm teaching right now (Christian Romanticism), some people opt to just listen to the sessions and do the reading, for a number of reasons. The Sophiology course will be a little different, because I will have some activities regarding dreams and nature that will require writing--but I wouldn't think of it as a graded assignment or anything, but only as ways to engage the imagination.

Thanks.

That sounds fine.

So sign me up 🐈‍⬛

I’m in for spring! Are you doing a lantern walk for St Martin’s? We might do one here if not.

Since my youngest are now almost 14 and 16, they're not into lantern walks anymore--but we used to do them here. But we will do Michaelmas--and I'll make sure to invite you when I figure out the date.

I’m interested in the Sophiological course! Would love to learn more about what’s expected!

There will be recommended readings and activities that can be done outside of the weekly sessions (dreamwork, contemplative engagement with nature), but I would never describe what I'm doing as very rigid. There's structure but also room for a lot of play and participants can do whatever feels right to them.

Okay that sounds great! I’m in school already and I don’t want to significantly add to the workload!
