Contemplative Waiting~Write Into the Heart of Your Spiritual Journey
~Recognition and Books: Palabras Press~
Normandi Ellis, Foundation for the National Association for Poetry Therapy
“Margot, You are a worthy recipient, of the Seeds of Joy Award, from the Foundation for the National Association for Poetry Therapy, for your work in facilitating growth experiences through experiential workshops in writing and healing voice here in the US and in Canada.”
Diarmuid O’Murchu, Member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order, Social Psychologist, and author of: Quantum Theology, Reclaiming Spirituality
“I thought many times of Thomas Merton as I read through Margot Van Sluytman’s poems, in Contemplative Waiting: Write Into the Heart of Your Spiritual Journey: the contemplative waiting becomes an awakening in which the sacred breaks through even in the mundane and ordinary.”
Brenda Peddigrew, Ph.D. - University of Alberta on Palabras Press
“It has been a powerful awakening for me simply to work with Palabras Press. To be in a milieu where poetry is highly valued, where the personal poetic voice is honored, and where the art of words is seen as a way of healing, has heightened my own connection with the inner world of passion and purpose. Palabras Press is a hidden gift to the world, which is beginning to be seen for all that it can give back.”
