“Life on Pause: Becoming More Present with Reflective Poetry”
Reflective poetry can be one of the doorways into a more mindful appreciation of our world. Indeed certain kinds of poetry can help us to focus our awareness and assist us in exploring new ways of coping and being creative. Poems by such poets as Maya Angelou, Wendell Berry, Lynn Unger will be selected for our examination and inquiry.
This relaxed session will offer an opportunity for any participants who choose to do so too break into small groups/ rooms during the final 20 minutes of the session in order to share their thoughts with each other.
