Poetree Photosynthesis

Have you ever beheld ferns or redwoods with awe, admiring their ability to transform sunlight into nutrients?  Inspired by the ways in which plants produce glucose, sequester carbon, and infuse the air with oxygen, Poetree Photosynthesis is a collaborative creative practice that celebrates our botanical cousins.  This somatic writing method involves accessible sequences of orientating to the environment and attuning to easeful motions arising effortlessly from the body.  By flowing through states of stillness, receptivity, momentum, and reciprocity, participants discover poetry emerging from within and around them simultaneously.  Together, they co-create phrases to seed future cycles of the process.  Each session flows toward a culminating integration stage that allows the group to regenerate the artistic energy that stimulated the cycle.  Through Poetree Photosynthesis, people can renew themselves and the practice itself, nurturing their bodies, embracing their surroundings, and co-composing art along the way. To learn more, please visit our Poetree Photosynthesis page.
