Mindful Poetry Moments with The On Being Project
Now more than ever poetry and music can help us make sense of the world. Mindful Poetry Moments is a chance to pause and reflect on poetry’s ability to encounter ourselves, the world, and the mystery of each other.
In collaboration with The On Being Project Mindful Poetry offers five weeks of content, containing recordings of contemporary poets reading their work from On Being with Krista Tippett radio show and podcast and/or Poetry Unbound podcast. The audio will be accompanied by mindful prompts and meaning-making questions. All Mindful Poetry content is free thanks to The On Being Project and the generous donations of individuals and organizations in The Wild Geese Collective.
