Poetry as Witness

A Contemplative Circle of Nature & Word

Hosted by 

Buddhist Coalition for Democracy

From the Organizer:

This contemplative online circle explores the relationship between language, nature, and shared human experience. Facilitated by author, poet, and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith, the group will engage poetry as a practice of mindful witnessing, listening to the ways Earth, body, and society inform one another. Sessions include a short meditation, a selected poem connected to a monthly theme, and sharing of original theme-inspired writings or reflections. No prior writing experience necessary.

Buddhist Coalition for Democracy  is the host of this event. Please contact them with any questions.
