Poetry has a delightful capacity to come at things slant – to surprise, engage, provoke and support. Poetry invites us to pay attention, to notice. We simply turn up as we are, with no more and no less than a willingness to enquire and perhaps to discover.
This poetic pause point will draw on poems relevant to the season – of the year, of a life – those familiar, momentary, eternal and remarkable times. We will read, reflect, converse and – if you like - draw or write.
Most of all we will gather in good company to notice and receive from the wonderful well of the poetic. In our busy lives, with our good intentions, such encouragement is essential.
Curated and lightly facilitated by friend and colleague, Julie Allan this 75 mins session will be held via Zoom.
Julie works with poetry to resource, restore and (re)create much-needed generative connection. She is an experienced coaching psychologist, supervisor and facilitator, and a grateful explorer of wiser ways, poesis and the poetic imagination.
It is a kind of love, is it not?
How the cup holds the tea,
How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,
How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes
Or toes . . .
