Note: The poetry luncheons on the 8th and 22nd are full. But we have added this last gathering for those who missed out on the earlier dates. This one now full.
This will be the last of our autumn series.
Here is an invitation to gather with myself, Candice, and Alissa Price, aka The Contemplative Cook, over a delicious lunch to consider, through the artistry of poetic language, how we may find sacredness and compassion in the most ordinary of circumstances in our every day lives. And how in doing so, we may infuse our homes and communities with compassion, serenity and a kind of light heartedness that does not dismiss the sorrows of our hearts, but allows for illuminating the numinous in their midst.
The gathering takes place in my home in the beautiful rural township of Mulmur, about an hour and a half north of Toronto, Canada.
See Details Below and reflections from those who attended our gathering on November 8th.
RSVP by November 22 to thecontemplativecook@gmail.com or call (705) 627 - 4946
