A Night of Poetry, Insight and Reflection

Have you ever felt a flutter in your heart while listening to a poem? Or been in awe of their delicate description or hidden messages? These moments awaken the power of the human mind and heart in harmony. Poems are not just words; Poems come from the heart, weaving together emotions with wisdom and imagination. This blend of heart and mind makes poetry a unique form of expression, where feelings find clarity and thoughts become vivid through imagery.

In this series of events, we want to create an inspiring night of connection and interaction through poetry. Together, we’ll explore the voices of poets from around the world, share their words, and explore the emotions, thoughts, and insights they evoke. This is your opportunity to not only experience poetry but to be part of a community where you can also share with us your or your favorite poets’ work.

Join us and immerse yourself in the world of poetry, where heart and mind unite to spark something truly transformative.

WHY ATTEND:
In this evening, we will together:

• Learn about different poets around the world
• Discuss the insights that we find in each poem
• Share poems, wisdom, and some snacks
• Connect with a community of people who like poetry

It is not meant to be an expert discussion or lecture but rather an open evening and conversation about poetry, where everyone is welcome to contribute.

The seats are limited to 24, so reserve early! We would request a recommended space donation of CHF 20-25.
