Turning Your Prayers into Poetry
Craft Your Own Liturgy in this 2‑Hour Renovaré Virtual Workshop
October 10, 2026 · 12–2 PM Eastern
“We are all beginners when it comes to prayer.” ‑Saint Teresa of Ávila
This workshop is for anyone who longs to pray from their heart but struggles to find the words — whether you’re a writer, a listener, or simply a beholder.
The practice of writing liturgies affirms that poetry and prayer have the power to create beauty for the soul and form us into who we’re meant to be.
Join Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore for a slow, thoughtful time of prayer, creativity, reflection, and community. In this workshop, you will learn the key elements of liturgy writing, including journaling, Scripture reading, listening prayer, and poetic craft. Audrey and Elizabeth cultivate a space that is warm and welcoming, with plenty of unhurried time to reflect and create. Whether you’re a writer, poet, creative, journaler, or simply someone longing to put language to your faith, this workshop is for you.
What you’ll take home from this workshop:
- A draft of your own personalized liturgy
- Practical tools for writing future liturgies
- Time spent reflecting and creating
- Meaningful connection with others
By the end of the evening, you’ll have gathered the tools for writing your own liturgy any time you need it.
This event is best experienced live. A recording will also be made available.
