About this event
Reading and writing poetry, especially poems that center on nature, daily life, and being present, can help us to cultivate mindfulness and find peace and calm in our busy world. Join Katie Veltum who will share some of her favorite poems from authors like Mary Oliver, James Crews, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, and Naomi Shihab Nye. We will discuss how these poems make us feel, do some short meditations to ground and center us and spend time writing our own poetry.
