How do we support and guide those we love in these uncertain times? In this poetry workshop, we will use various prompts to compose poems that explore our hopes and fears for our children, as well as imagine models/visions for a more sustainable future on this planet. We will also write about what we can do in the here and now to contribute to the repairing of our World. This is a generative workshop open to parents and caregivers. Space will be limited to 12 people.
*All participants will have an opportunity to attend / participate in an intergenerational poetry reading.
