Flowing from Ancient Springs: Poetry and the Return to the Source

“There runs through all true poetry a golden thread — a vision of the one reality behind the many appearances.”
— Attributed to Kathleen Raine

Throughout history, poetry has been a way of remembering — a language that reaches beneath thought to touch the eternal.

In every age, certain voices seem to draw from the same hidden well: speaking of unity, of the sacred within the ordinary, of a world alive with meaning.

In this online gathering, we’ll listen to poems that flow from these ancient springs — from mystical, visionary, and contemplative traditions — and reflect together on what they awaken in us today.
How do such words reach us amid the noise of modern life?

Can poetry still restore a sense of reverence, stillness, or connection to the unseen?

Bring a poem that speaks to you, or simply come to listen, reflect, and share quietly in the company of others.

🕊️ An evening of listening, reading, and gentle conversation.
