Wide-Open Listening: Where Nature Meets Human Nature

How do we deepen our relationship with the world around us? Using metaphor as a tool and wonderment as a practice, we’ll explore how poetry can build a bridge between the landscapes of our inner world and the landscapes we inhabit. As Mary Oliver says, “The world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you … over and over.” Poems help us hear the call and meet it with our attention. We’ll read, write, discuss process, and, if you wish, share. For writers, non-writers, people who think they hate poetry and those who see it everywhere they turn.

In person in Buena Vista, CO at the Congregational UCC, 217 Crossman Ave.

9 a.m. – noon
