Calling all poets (and aspiring poets)! Join author, educator, and former poet laureate of San Ramon, Kathy Moore, for a poetry workshop focusing on the heart of belonging. U.S. Poet Laureate, Arthur Sze says, “Poetry has a crucial role to play in our lives, society, and the world. It helps us slow down, hear clearly, see deeply, and envision what matters most in our lives.”
In this class, we’ll read a variety of poems for inspiration, and spend time tapping into our inner poet to draft poems from our awakened hearts.
Class includes:
• journal
• pen
• poetry packet
• instruction and inspiration.
All workshops are held in the garden behind our shop at 166 E Prospect Ave, Danville.
