Poetry Event: Walking and Writing Into the Living World

Description

Join poets Rebecca Brenner and Nan Seymour for an evening of poetry, conversation, and community connection. Through shared poems and moderated discussion, Brenner and Seymour will explore how writing can become a practice of walking beyond concepts—into the heart of what is real, alive, and urgently felt. The evening will open with a presence practice and walking meditation, offering participants an opportunity to arrive fully in their bodies and tune into the land around them. This grounding ritual will invite stillness, spaciousness, and attentive movement, setting the tone for deep listening and an embodied approach to the creative process. Following the session, Brenner and Seymour will reflect on how their creative work connects them to the living world, their ancestors, and ecological and social justice movements. The program will conclude with a Q&A and space for audience reflections.
