This spring, join writer, teaching artist and movement instructor Kristen Zory King on a poetry hike through Rock Creek Park and experience the joy of creativity in motion. Together, we'll wander through three(ish) miles of winding trails, stopping frequently to share poems with one another as well as to spend time in creative reflection and journaling. Bring comfortable clothing, your favorite poem (or two! or three!) to share, and a notebook to jot down inspiration from the trees, the sky, and one another.
- Saturday, March 30 at 12:00pm: Emobodied Poems (*this event is presented in partnership with Movement for Choice)
- Saturday, April 13 at 11:00am: Rumi, Jane Hirshfield, and Poems of the Heart and Spirit
- Sunday, May 19 at 2:00pm: Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Wendell Berry, and Poems of Nature and Joy
- Sunday, June 9 at 2:00pm: Ross Gay, Mary Oliver, and Poems of Gratitude and Delight
We will meet at Ellē in Mt. Pleasant and then head to the Rock Creek Park entrance off of 17th St. NW. Kris will be in touch ahead of time with more details, including rain date if applicable.
Please note: there are a few steep hills in the trail. Tickets are $20 with a pay-what-you-can option available to all. Ticket transfers available but refunds are not available at this time. Please email kristenzoryking (at) gmail (dot) com with questions or for more information.
