Deepen your practice at the 2026 Glen in San Diego from July 12-18!
Join us for world-class faculty, a gorgeous location, and a warm community gathered around arts and faith.

Q: What can I expect on a typical day at the Glen?

A: Each day at the Glen follows a similar format: classes in the morning and a variety of optional faculty lectures, readings, interviews, concerts, field trips, open mics, and worship services incorporating the arts in the afternoons and evenings.

Q: What do the morning classes look like?

A: You’ll choose one immersive class for the week, participating in 5 weekday sessions that meet from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Morning classes are kept small, so you develop close ties and dive deep into your chosen subject. For many attendees, their morning cohort is the heart of the Glen experience.

Q: How about afternoons and evenings?

A: There's something for everyone! Programming includes readings, interviews, craft talks, and more offered by our illustrious faculty, open mic sessions to share your work, contemplative prayer, and free time for rest, connection, or local excursions.

"Nostalgia for the Doughnut Shop"
Gerard Smyth | Issue 89

These days I write elegies and read the Metaphysicals.
And when I turn the radio on
prefer to hear a pennywhistle playing “Purple Heather.”
In all weathers I wander back to parishes
where I feel nostalgia for the doughnut shop
and the junkyard where things were given a second chance.

It was there that I spent a childhood listening to bells,
their long laments, their song-in-the-air
on Pentecost in praise of love divine,
their rowdy chimes as they jumped from one year to the next.

That was the simpler time of jotters and pencils,
before the awkward questions.
I was under the protection of the saints: Anthony, Jude, Therese
whose feet I warmed with votive candle flames.

Wishing you a blessed Pentecost.

From “Line of Credit” by Sharon Pomerantz:

Jacob is dying. He’s sworn us to secrecy, but slowly and then faster, people have begun to realize—the clothes that hang on his once portly frame, his yellowish pallor, the bedroom slippers because his feet are too swollen for shoes. A fool could see he’s ill. At a poetry reading he gave in early June, friends and colleagues gathered in the downstairs bar afterward, whispering. There was his shocking appearance, but also the new depth and vulnerability of the work itself (mortality had finally given him a subject). They dabbed at their eyes, barraging us with questions, but we gave them little. We had our orders.
