In-person in the Fireside Room and on Zoom, join us for a rare opportunity to experience poetry that illuminates the human spirit from two distinct yet deeply connected perspectives. Berkeley poets, Judy Wells and Dale Jensen (spouses) invite us into their and our own personal theologies through verse that is as insightful as it is alive.
Dale Jensen, an agnostic poet, explores how rhythm, sound, and breath connect the physical and the spiritual. For him, poetry itself is an act of reverence…a way of touching the divine without dogma, shape, or name.

Judy Wells offers a poetic journey that’s both comic and profound, tracing her experiences from Catholic childhood into a more expansive spiritual landscape. Judy is witty, warm and reminds us that old beliefs never fully disappear — they evolve, refract, and continue to shape our understanding of meaning.

Both poets are dramatic readers who bring their words vividly to life. Their readings will make you laugh, reflect consider how our own stories of faith, questioning, and wonder are always alive in us.
Come to listen and remember how poetry reconnects us to the sacred mystery within ordinary life.
