Description
Discover how reading poetry can become a powerful method for developing increased attention, calm, and presence—no prior experience with poetry or mindfulness practices required. Together, we’ll explore a diverse selection of mindfulness-centered poetry and experience how close reading can sharpen perception, steady the mind, and open new ways of seeing. Through lecture, guided exercises and discussion, you’ll strengthen your ability to sustain focus and cultivate a gentle, alert awareness.
