Description
I think of this course as a kind of sacred intersection between poetry and grateful living…The poems we most need for our Gratefulness Poetry First Aid Kit are short, surprising and soul-sustaining. ~ Dale Biron
- How can poetry help us celebrate the stunning beauty of the world and remember the joys we have forgotten?
- How can poems heal and connect us even in the most difficult and fierce circumstances of our lives?
- How can we bring poetry and gratefulness into our lives as supportive and trustworthy practices?
We invite you to join us in exploring these questions, and many more, through listening to reflections, poems, and stories shared by poet, Dale Biron.
