Course Catalog
Word Church
All Levels | In this mixed-genre course, we will huddle together in the darkest time of the year to read, discuss, and experience the wisdom of words. We will also write and share our own ambitious explorations of the human condition—birth, death, faith, nature, epiphany, plague, war, ecstatic states, family, and other urgencies. We’ll look at work by Dante Alighieri, Octavia Butler, Teresa Avila, Christopher Okigbo, Nelly Sachs, James Hollis, Joy Harjo, Hafez, Rumi, Annie Dillard, R.D. Laing, Brecht, and more!
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
