Focusers Guide to the Galaxy: Poets of Embodied Wisdom
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver
Enrich, Inspire and Uplift
Join us for six lunchtime sessions exploring the transformative wisdom of great poets through the lens of Focusing. We’ll bring their words alive in our bodies, discovering what they reveal about living fully and authentically.
The Experience: Drop-in format with playful exploration, breakout groups, guided reflections, and focusing practice. Share and connect in community as we let poetry speak through the felt sense.
Who’s Welcome: Everyone—from focusing beginners to seasoned practitioners. All you need is an open heart and willingness to connect. Not just for poets!
When: Wednesdays: 26 Nov, 3, 10, 17 Dec 2025 | 7, 14 Jan 2026
