Countercultural mythmaking and global corporate dominance have helped the tech corporation sail through criticism.

We live among the sacred. We all have rituals, traditions, and daily pleasures that often go unnoticed. Many writers are burned out on trauma work or simply trying to digest the daily headlines. This writing class invites writers to slow down and turn their attention to the everyday beauty that surrounds them. Through brief readings, guided prompts, and quiet reflection, students will explore how ordinary moments can carry meaning, wonder, and reverence. The sacred is open to all of us, and this class welcomes writers of all backgrounds and belief systems. We will focus on short forms such as flash nonfiction, devotionals, odes, poems, and fragments, using concrete detail and careful attention rather than abstraction. By focusing on short works, we can finish several pieces in a short time. Sharing is always optional, and the emphasis is on attention, presence, and discovery rather than performance or productivity. By the end of the course, students will have completed multiple short drafts and will have renewed ways of noticing and honoring the sacred in daily life. Instructor: Rebecca Chamaa frequently celebrates the everyday in her writing and has contributed devotionals to Strength and Grace and spiritual reflections to Guideposts magazine.
