To attend the Zoom lectures please register and make payment using the booking link HERE and you will be provided with the Zoom meeting ID on your receipt and study notes prior to the first lecture.

This will be an exploration of how engaging deeply with poetry can assist in an understanding of our inner world, of what can support our search for self-understanding, inner harmony and divine guidance.

You are encouraged to read and ponder on the poems a few days before each session. You are also encouraged to respond to the poems in writing, either by way of commentary on the poems, or by way of a creative response (poetry or prose)

We will begin with the following poems:

  1. “The Wattle Tree” by Judith Wright (1915-2000)
  2. “The Altar” by George Herbert (1593-1633)
  3. “But, the silence in the mind” by R.S. Thomas (1913-2000)
  4. “Little Gidding”- from Sections II and V by T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
  5. “When death comes” by Mary Oliver (1935-2019)
  6. “Sailing to Byzantium” by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

More poems will be added as needed and you are welcome to suggest any additional poems that connect with the theme of this short course.
