On the day of the summer solstice, we will meet to refresh ourselves with nature’s glories, to renew by trying some different forms of poetry , and through contemplation, to deepen our own poetic selves. Bring a poem of your own to share (8-12 lines) if you wish. Come early to walk the new outdoor labyrinth, to meet other poets, and have some coffee and a nibble before our facilitator Ray Griffin opens the Gathering at 10 am. Bring your lunch, water bottle, journal, sun hat, and good walking shoes. Reserve your space in this small group by. contacting Debbie@mountainlightretreatva.com. Your $15 program fee may be paid on arrival.
