The Renaissance of Poetry (Join us Tuesday!)
Hey dear one, This month, we will open up a very special theme for our monthly (free) Soul Power Hour: POETRY. Has poetry ever 'saved' a part of you? Broken you open to a moment of self-witnessing when a sensation was screaming behind the scenes, and then suddenly, someone, somewhere translated that precise energy using nothing more than the simplicity of etching ink onto a page, which then somehow met your eyes, and there, then BAM - you were seen, and then, something within SHIFTED. You were moved. If this hasn't happened yet, it's okay - perhaps the moment will reveal itself! Maybe even through your own words! For me, this is the magic of the craft of poetry: how we listen between the silence of what is spoken and sensed. How we learn to see between objective reality and the malleability of the space between you and me. Poetry is not only in the writing and reading, it is in the way life can flow, or reveal to us moment of serendipity, or simply the coming together of a moment you long awaited - this is the poetry of LIFE. For me, this is poetry. For you, it might be entirely different - who knows! What I do know, is every time I've hosted my poetry salon, Read Writing Hood, the room is full, and people are THIRSTY for this sense of soulful nourishment. I can't fully claim success to these events, as I see the attendance as a reflection of where we are in humanity, and the parts of our soul asking for us to - TEND TO THE INNER GARDEN. So come tend, together and MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR TUESDAY (see: calendar tab to save it locally). Resources: Paper, Pen, & Presence Gentle Note: A recommended read for this month: MAPS OF THE IMAGINATION by Peter Turchi is a deeply insightful resource on how we might see, experience, and translate: SPACE. Deeply poetic and insightful. See you soon! Much love & warmth, Anna
