This is the first of a series of three guided practices using poetry to inspire ourselves to follow the heart-mind connection, and cultivate inner and outer compassion through art.
In this first session, we connect with nature as part of ourselves, through Wendell Berry’s poem “The Peace of Wild Things.” It is by observing nature’s expression, by surrendering to its sweep, that we may regain faith, not only in survival, but in beauty, and the worthiness of life.
