Sage Cohen - Writing the Life Poetic
June 7
Poetry is one of the great pleasures in life, and no one needs an advanced degree in creative writing to reap its rewards. Sage Cohen, author of Writing the Life Poetic: An Invitation to Read and Write Poetry, will share some of her favorite approaches to living and writing a poetic life. Through prompts and exercises, she will invite writers of all backgrounds to experience their life through a poetic lens.

Daniel Skach-Mills - Steeped in Words: The Poetics of Tea
June 14
Whether it’s an ode to oolong, or a paean to puerh, tea has been the source of poetic inspiration in China and around the world for millennia. In this class, we will cover the basics of Chinese ceremonial (or Gongfu) tea preparation and tasting; steep ourselves in poems and quotations written by tea lovers down through the ages; and pour out some tea-musings of our own. Come and discover what’s brewing in your pot!
Daniel Skach-Mills - Flowing Qi - Flowing Ink: Writing Your Life Energy
June 21
Developing a connection to one’s life force, or qi energy, is essential in all Taoist arts. Together, we will reawaken this felt sense of vital energy through a series of simple qigong movements, and by walking the Garden’s reflexology courtyard. Using the Garden as our inspiration, we will then write our “qi” experience - or, better yet, let it write itself. Wear loose-fitting clothing.
R. Gregory Nokes - Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon
