Zen Poetry Circle : poetry of peace

  • Mountain Rain Sherbrooke St. zendo 5505 Sherbrooke Street Vancouver, BC, V5W 3M7 Canada (map)
When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to others. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.
— Joy Harjo

If you share an aspiration to make poetry an expression of your practice, please come and join in. This session you are invited to focus on peace, what it means, how we express it in our lives. Bring a poem you like or one you've written to share in the circle, and a notebook for some writing exercises. We may be inspired by the weather, the garden, each other, the world. Whether you've been writing poetry for years or just starting, come with your beginner's mind open.
