What to expect

Our theme this month is 🕯️night lights, those sweet little burning flames that light up the darkest of nights.

This workshop is a continuation of what we begin at the Winter Wonders ❄️ Danceground on December 13th, and while it builds on similar themes, you are not required to attend both - that's just not how we do things around here! 

We will gather just a couple days ahead of the Summer Solstice, which marks the beginning of Winter in the northern hemisphere, and the longest night of the year. It is, quite literally, a dark time for many and also is the exact moment we begin to welcome back the light.

We will feature poets and poems that offer pinpricks of light in the dark, much like a night light or string of holiday lights offers.

We will then turn inward to stoke the source of our own inner flame, to locate the spaces within and outside of us that are 🕯️night lights, burning bright. 

You are invited to listen and/or share some of your work, or share poems from your favorite poet(s).

No pressure to share - you can just hang out and take it in, cameras on or off are fine.

You might also use this time to create some poetry (along with the prompts or on your own) to share or not share.

If YOU would like to share some of your own poetry and want to be included in the lineup, email rendirt@surrendirtlove.com or chat us up in the Poetry Community chat  in Surrendirt to Community.
