Nine Weeks, Nine Poems, One Practice (9 week class - 5/23-8/8, no class on 5/30, 7/4, 7/25) - With Matthew Daniell

Wed 05/30/18 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Great poetry often comes from the depths of seeing deeply into life.  Used wisely poetry can move us inwardly to live more freshly in the moments that make up our lives. In this nine week series we will read poetry from both East and West. The selections along with with short introductions come from one of Matthews teachers he practiced with in India in the 1980’s, Christopher Titmus. Here is a list of the poets we will be reading week by week: The Buddha, TS Eliot, Kahlil Gibran, John Keats, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, Rainer Maria Rilke, Rabindranath Tagore, and Rumi.  One poem will be emailed to you each week to inform your practice at home and will be used as a touchstone for discussion in class.

This nine week class runs from 5/23-8/8 (no class on 5/30, 7/4, 7/25).
