Event Type: Adult Program Age Group(s): Adult Date: 3/19/2017 Start Time: 1:00 PM End Time: 4:00 PM Description: Taking a cue from CA Conrad’s (Soma)tic Poetry Rituals (find them at somaticpoetryexercises.blogspot.com), participants will engage in somatic poetry “rituals” to be mindful of the present moment and “reveal the creative viability of everything” around them. It’s spring! We’ll traipse together, using the city as our inspiration, to explore our outer and inner landscapes. This class is for folks who want to shake up their practice, write new work, and have fun!
