Authentic Poetry Workshop with Jerrice J Baptiste

Becoming The Admirer

What are the things that we can engage our senses in to be able to be more present? What must we let go of that’s holding us back from being the Admirer - the person who sees, hears, smells, touches, feels, tastes what is being offered each moment.

Poetry by world known poets like Annie Dillard, Mary Oliver, William Stafford and others will takes us on their journey to being the admirer of each of moment. Guided meditation, poetry reading, writing, sharing and group discussion will help us to engage our senses and move towards what’s in front of us to admire and to hold. All writing levels welcome!

Each workshop includes guided meditation, visualization, poetry reading, writing, group discussions. Poetry from world know poets: John Keats, Joy Harjo, Annie Dillard, Ellen Bass, Gwendolyn Brooks, Mary Oliver, Wallace Stevens, Danusha Lameris and many others will serve as inspiration for your own writing in a circle of creatives. All writing levels welcome!
