New Poetry Webinar: Tending the Heart

How do we keep the heart open to the world in such difficult and challenging times? How do we, as writers and human beings, welcome all that arises in our lives? This 6-week journey held via Zoom each Friday at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific starting on October 13th, will draw on the experience and wisdom of some of our country’s most wise and renowned writers. Jacqueline Suskin, Koshin Paley Ellison, Gregory Orr, Richard Blanco, Tyree Daye and Jane Hirshfield will help us explore how we tend to the heart of the creative and spiritual path using poetry and mindfulness practice. For a limited time, Danusha Lameris and I will be offering 20% off this journey for those who join us within the next month. You can receive the discount by following this link. We hope you’ll join us for this special fall event!
