Join a bestselling and award-winning environmental poet, novelist and writer - on her dog Lenny Bruce’s birthday! - for an innovative and interactive class with the special theme of honoring the beloved animals and more than human beings in our world. The class combines mindfulness practices, poetry readings, and gently guided, trauma-informed journaling. Research shows writing by hand creates the same brain waves as meditation and can help reduce stress, relieve pain, create clarity, and move you into wisdom. Join us with your journal and let’s celebrate animals!
