The moon won’t use the door,

Conversations with the Poets
Poetry as Reflection. Poetry as Ritual. Poetry as a Path.
Poetry has the power to awaken, to soothe, and to inspire. In Conversations with the Poets, we enter into dialogue with the wisdom of poets—both classical and contemporary—to explore some of life’s most profound themes.
Each virtual class centers on a single topic—nature, death, rest, or life—and unfolds through the shared reading of poems, writing prompts, guided reflection, and gentle conversation. Together, we will listen deeply, write freely, and connect in community. The poets become our guides; their words, a mirror for our own insights.
Whether you are new to poetry or a lifelong reader, you are warmly invited to this sacred and generative space.

The Love Continues: Signs from our loved ones.
Saturday November 22nd from 9 am to 11 am on Zoom
$50
The absence of our loved ones is painful and can leave us with so many questions. Where did all the love go? Who am I without them? Can I continue to have a relationship with them?
We will explore the many ways our departed loved ones give us signs that they are still with us. Learn how to cultivate your awareness to become more open to receiving messages and noticing the signs in nature and all around us.
We will share nature practices, writing exercises, guided meditation, and stories that you can use every day to feel more connected and discover how the love continues.
I hope you will consider joining me on this journey.
To sign up send an email to soulwisdomguide@gmail.com and the fee can be sent via Venmo Charlene-Ray-2 or through Zele soulwisdomguide@gmail.com
