Touched by Words:
The Companionship of Poets
Online with Tim Scorer
Five Tuesdays: February 28 – March 28, 2023
6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Pacific Time
With just a splash of words on a page, poets can take us to the heart of things. We suddenly see the concerns of a day or a lifetime through a frame of words that are full of spirit, meaning, and beauty. In these five Tuesday evenings, we will read poems and have conversations that naturally flow from the reading. The character of these meetings will be invitational, safe, reflective, and affirming. No previous positive experiences of poetry required!
This is the eighth poetry series that Tim Scorer has offered through the partnership of Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre. Tim will choose a variety of poems for each of the five evenings organized around five themes which generally emerge from the lively conversations of the group.
Poems for each Tuesday evening will be sent out ahead of each session.
The cost for five sessions via Zoom is $186.00
Ages: 18+
Tim Scorer
At the heart of Tim’s practice is spiritual accompaniment: with individuals, with spiritual companions and elders, with groups and faith communities, in contemplative retreats, and now with lovers of poetry. His grounding is through active engagement with five grandchildren, gardening on a hillside on Bowen Island, participation in the life of a faith community, and deepening into the loving 56-year partnership he enjoys with Donna.
