A Wave in the Heart:
Poetic Connection
In these times of uncertainty and transformation, we can draw on meditation, contemplation and poetic expression, as our ancestors have for thousands of years. Accessing the inner realms, we find comfort, solace and new possibilities. Taking time for ourselves in this way, to nurture our creative spirit and discover our inner voice, can be a great blessing for all those around us and for ourselves.
A Wave in the Heart: Poetic Connection offers six weeks of soothing meditation and creative writing
* Deepening Self awareness through poetry & meditation
* Nurturing a culture of mutual support
* Embracing the fullness of our experience
* Developing confidence and creativity
* Listening from the Heart
Each session will include space for you to explore writing, to share and to listen, to find your way of letting words flow directly from the stillness of the heart.
All welcome! No previous experience of either poetry or meditation expected. This could be a great opportunity to explore something new, or to approach your writing or meditation in a new way. We actively embrace diversity in all forms.

Ursula K Le Guin was a great novelist, essayist and poet — a mystic inspired by Taoism and Buddhism, anarchism and feminism — and a woman who loved the world. Her book A Wave in the Mind is one of the inspirations for the course title alongside On Connection by Kae Tempest.
