Words & Rituals – Tending the Wild of Our Creativity

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Emilie Lygren is a poet and educator whose writing enlivens commonplace moments with the meaning and depth they deserve. Her teaching focuses on curiosity and reflection as practices to deepen relationships. She believes poems bring us closer… to ourselves, to one another, and to the world we inhabit. She believes we are all poets.

Emilie will share about the evolution of her practice, how her poetry supports her well-being and how her teaching in the natural world has influenced her creative expression.

She will share readings of her writing and guide you through rituals and reflective prompts focused on your relationship to creativity. We will observe and call on parts of the natural world to inform our intentions. We will also write and share poems.

This program welcomes ALL levels of creative practitioners, from beginners to those more practiced. Educators will also find inspiration for ways to bring creative practice and natural elements into their teaching.

Participants should bring a journal or paper and a writing instrument, such as a pen, pencil or marker.

This event is part of the Art + Healing series, presented by Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD), a pioneering network of feminist eco­artists, educators, curators, and writers working toward the goal of a just and healthy world. To learn more, visit weadartists.org.
