Poetry Challenge: Oct 2014

Update: Here is a compilation of all the poems received thus far – please browse & read…

Come October 1 we begin our Poetry Challenge. On the path of yoga, we aim to be physically fit, mentally sharp, and spiritually aware – that means growth in all the realms of life. And the psychic realm is vast: Emotional health, creative inspiration, intellectual curiosity – and more.

So the Poetry Challenge is in concert with our movement on the path. Poetry is a refined human expression that demands a slow and steady mind. It is a great complement to our yoga practice. So you are heartily invited to join us in this challenge. All details below.

Spirit of the Challenge: As with all our challenges – a competition it is not – but rather an opportunity to look a little deeper inwardly and express a little further outwardly. So all can participate freely and comfortably in this open, safe, and creative space.

Ways To Participate: Keeping this in mind, you may engage in the Poetry Challenge in a number of ways:

#1: You may send us a poem you wrote – either recently or years ago. If you wish you may also include a little background about the poem.

#2: You may send us a poem that moves or inspires you. If you wish you may share how and why this piece is meaningful to you.

#3: You may select a portion of poem that speaks to you.

#4: Or you may simply sit back and reflect on what others are sharing.

You are welcome to participate in any of the above mentioned ways. So kindle your poetic spirit and join us – all month long!!!
