As the leaves turn golden and the nights draw in, we might turn more and more to the inner realms for comfort and discovery. Especially in these times of uncertainty and transformation, we can draw on meditation, contemplation and poetic expression, as our ancestors have for thousands of years. 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 is a six week shared adventure where we will be
* 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. Can you see yourself blossoming from this?
