Bellissimo! This pink rose truly has the same vibration of the Heart center, actually it magnifies that vibration. And I’d like to attend a Godwriting class just to have that diploma to hang on my wall.

Happy Easter to everyone in Heaven.

Yes, of course, the rose is very lovely–so is the whole diploma!

It is LOVELY. Roses are so special–such a metaphor of our growth. We start as a tangled web of brown twigs full of thorns. Then when light shines on us, our own inner light reacts, sending forth green leaves to drink it in. As we drink the light in through our leaves, it feeds our inner light and we send out beautiful buds. As we continue to feed on the love and light from without and within, our buds open wide … yet we still have thorns should anyone get too close. But those who recognize the light within, those who have already grown, are ready to strip the thorns, leaving only the beauty of the rose.

I bless the day I found this website and the concept of Godwriting … I wait for the day I can attend a seminar. Until then, please accept my thanks for the love you share.

I love the rose it represents Love and a whole lot more.
Being from the U.K Roses play a special role in our history… Tudor roses. Their are loads of references to roses in Alice in Wonderland their is the Queen of Hearts and the soldiers paint the white roses red..

Roses are Red, yellow, orange, pink… but the ones i like best have the scent… My mums middle name is Rosalie, and my sister is a Rosemary so yes i like this rose very much…. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you…

Hello, Gloria …

I’m the Pam from Michigan. Would you please send me information on organizing a Godwriting workshop. How many people minimum need to be signed up? What are your transportation and housing needs and costs?

I believe I have the perfect location that will hold up to 30 people (a friend of my mother’s has a meeting room at her house used for just such occasions as well as her Sunday services). It’s a beautiful place in the country, yet not too far from Grand Rapids or Lansing.

Your website has been such an inspiration–thank you for all that you do.

Dear Pam,

It sounds like you do have the perfect location and that you are serious about a Godwriting workshop. That’s wonderful, wonderful!

Workshops have been held in Greece, Germany, and Romania, and many in the U.S.

All the workshops are sponsored, Pam.

What usually happens is that someone desirous of a workshop — like you — writes in, undertakes the project and expenses and makes it happen. I will always go.

The website lists a standard fee of $125. Every sponsor decides what they want to do about that themselves. Most sponsors have asked for a suggested donation. The amount is really up to you.

So there is no set limit on how many people. I have given workshops to one person, and in Romania, 125! In Minden, Nevada, the most recent workshop, 19 people attended.

It usually takes a good amount of work to get the people to come. Calling, email etc. If you can get people to sign up and pay ahead of time, that’s reassuring but not always easy. Michelle in Minden didn’t know who was coming until they actually appeared.

If you have mailing lists or have a friend in a spiritual group with a mailing list, that helps.

The best resource to find aspiring Godwriters to attend seems to be subscribers themselves who already read Heavenletters. The more people you are able to motivate to subscribe to Heavenletters, post on the blog and forum etc., the easier it seems to be to find aspiring Godwriters who want to take the workshop.

And I will help in every way I can, announcements in Heaven News, announcements to those subscribers we know are from Michigan, etc.

Oh, also sometimes before the workshop, we’ve had a free reading at a public library, for instance. This can sometimes bring new people to the workshop, but not always.

As for expenses, the sponsors take care of economy round trip flight from Cedar Rapids, Iowa airport in advance. Mostly I have been able to get a ride to the airport (almost two hours away) but if I have to hire a service, then that has to be provided for as well. As for where I stay, I have received great hospitality in sponsors’ homes, and I have also stayed in fine hotels and very modest motels. Please note that sponsors are invited to pay themselves back for all expenses from profits that the workshop generates.

Pam, thank you for asking about workshops and doing it here on the blog. You must know it will be my pleasure to facilitate a workshop in Michigan soon.

God bless you, dear Pam.

With love,

Gloria
