One of the greatest gifts of poetry is it allows us to explore our humanness with compassion and playfulness, even when the subjects challenge us. Psychologist Michael Brant DeMaria identifies four topics we often shy from meeting openly—love, death, desire and madness—and this four-week workshop series, we’ll circle each of them through reading and writing poetry.

Curiosity will be our guide. How might exploring raw, vulnerable states open us to depth, startle us with wonder, and invite a more profound relationship with the sacred? In each session, we’ll read poems, write poems of our own, discuss process, and have a chance to share the writing we do together—or not. All levels of writing are welcome.

If the Earth is to survive, humans must be compelled to save it. That compulsion arises less from moral or ethical underpinnings than it does from having a genuine, vital, and reciprocal relationship with the Earth. We must shift out of an extractive mindset and toward a consciousness of interdependence, which is a natural result of deepening relationship. This workshop is designed to foster that relationship. When the Earth becomes our teacher, our guide, when our daily lives are interwoven with our natural environment, our care and commitment to the Earth rises profoundly. The workshop promotes that bond for the benefit of us and the Earth.

Wholeness is not a striving for perfection; it is learning to hold complexity with radical hospitality. We are living in a time of fragmentation. Overwhelm is a natural response to fear and uncertainty. Rather than resist what is arising in us, in this workshop, we will be invited to a radical hospitality towards it all.
