Big forest Utakai returns to Abide this September!  The season begins to cool a bit, and the sun slants a little lower in the trees with their old leaves preparing to fall.  What is falling away from you, what acorns are ripening and getting ready to be planted?  Many rush this time of year as school begins, but the best school is the school of gathering together to wonder, to play, and to express.  We will gather like a school of silvery fish reflecting all the rays of the past summer off our shimmery hearts in a great gathering of poetry! All are welcome—please come and find the masterpieces living in your heart.

***

No experience reading or writing is required. Please bring paper and a pen or pencil with you. This is not a poetry workshop. No critical evaluation of your poetry will take place.  A heart cannot be questioned, only encouraged.

Light meal, good times, an embodiment practice, writing gogyohka, and optional sharing. Gogyohka Uta-Kai is super fun!
