“Listen--are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”
~ Mary Oliver

Nature is astonishing so are Mary Oliver poems.  In this Authentic Poetry workshop, Oliver’s poetry which won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and a Lannan Literary Award for lifetime achievement will give us the opportunity to intentionally take a walk with her and amaze us with her quiet yet powerful observations.

It’s summer and the hummingbirds, the owls, the ponds, the earth & sky beckon us to take notice.  What better poet to bring us the magic of summer than Mary Oliver?  Guided Meditation, poetry reading, creative writing with prompts, sharing and group discussion will offer us a chance to delve & better understand the genius behind Oliver’s words. Completing a writing assignment with a prompt before the workshop will be encouraged to be shared with the circle of adult poets of all genders! $50 to be paid with Paypal.

“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
