Present Moment Poetry Group
Sun 12/16/18 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
One of the best tools in mindfulness practice today, as it has been for millennia, is poetry. Present moment-oriented poetry found in Buddhism and other traditions is a beautiful expression of, and support for, insight. Please join as we explore how bringing together these two forms has the power to bring us deeper into the mystery of being fully alive! We will start with a 30 minute silent meditation without instruction. Bring a poem, whether by you or a favorite poet, to read and discuss with the group. This community-member led group is intended for meditators who have attended at least two beginner drop-in classes at the center, or by permission of the Director.
Registration is not required and there is a suggested $10 donation per session.
Facilitator: Nancy Winkler
