SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Noticing the Donkey - A Holy Week Praying in Color Meditation with the Poetry of Mary Oliver (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:This program has reached it’s capacity and is now sold out.  We have created a wait list\, but we already have a good number of people on it.  At this point\, we encourage you to check out some of our other upcoming programs – so much that is good for the soul coming in the weeks ahead. \n \n******************************************************************************************************* \n\nLorie is always well-prepared with beautiful poems & has a very calm\, reassuring presence in these troubled times. – Marie Cournoyer \nThank you to Lorie for facilitating this program. It was a beautiful way to begin the season of Lent. – Shannon \n***************************************** \n“On the outskirts of Jerusalem the donkey waited. Not especially brave\, or filled with understanding\, he stood and waited.” — Mary Oliver \nHave you ever wondered about the donkey who carried Jesus on that triumphant\, palm-waving journey into Jerusalem? Was he merely a practical choice\, or might his humble presence offer something more for us to consider? \nYou are invited to a contemplative Holy Week gathering where we will linger with Mary Oliver’s poem “The Poet Thinks About the Donkey\,” and open ourselves to what this quiet companion may reveal about the sacred in the ordinary. \nTogether\, we will spend unhurried time in reflection and response through the spiritual practice of Praying in Color—a simple\, prayerful form of doodling with color that helps focus the heart and make space for insight. No prior experience or artistic skill is needed. All you need is white paper and colorful doodling utensils such as colored pencils\, markers\, crayons\, or pens. Lorie will guide each step of this gentle and meaningful practice. \nThere will be time for shared reflection in sacred community for those who feel led. \nDATE: Tuesday\, March 31\, 2026 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $25 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is now at capacity; you can join the wait list here but we encouage you to take a look at our other upcoming programs as we already have a robust wait list! \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.
