Small sanctuaries: Poems as refuge, poems as sparks

Feb 23, 2:00pm - Feb 23, 3:30pm

University of Toronto Student Life Programs & Services214 College StreetToronto, ON Map

When the physical places where we used to meet, pray, congregate are unavailable, what grounds us in sacredness? When the spirituality of community is removed, what do we lean on? In this Poet in Community Workshop, we will explore through listening and writing if it's possible for a poem to hold us even for a little while. Can the poem be a home for the spirit? What might it offer us in sustenance, grounding, and a wider place to rest in? To register, please visit uoft.me/poemsasrefuge
