discussion and poetry reading
session topic: Summoning the Unseen- Poetry & Meditation
to Conjure Deep Support & Inspiration
In this peaceful and deep session we contemplate:
Why is the practice of summoning the unseen through poetry & meditation vital for human beings right now?
How is this practice both active and receptive?
What is the "the unseen"?
How is emergence related to impermanence, and how are both related to awakening?
Brooke also shares two of her stunning poems to sink into. Join us as we invite in the unseen.
This session will air on Monday, March 22 at 10 am PT, 1 Pm ET, 5 pm UK
