"This course has inspired me to keep a journal and write poetry for the first time in years. The interplay of philosophy and poetry has made a space for me to consider how I interact with time, the world, the sacred, myself and my loves ones. The kind instructors invite and encourage personal introspection and the potential to learn from the self."
- Peter M., former course participant |
"I would recommend this course to anyone looking to dive deep and reconnect with meaning and purpose through poetry and philosophy. The course has helped me to start writing again, and has provided me with a supportive and stimulating environment to exchange ideas and creative work with others. The instructors do an excellent job of making the class material and discussion stimulating, approachable, and inspiring. I always feel energized by what we cover in class, and ready to go deeper."
