Two years ago, in March, Dillipoetry began the journey of hosting poetry walks & extensive workshops - to pull poetry off stage & into an experience, felt, held & embodied. In these two years we hosted over 50+ walks & workshops in total, with close to a thousand participants showing up as co-creators.
This time Dillipoetry along with Sunder Nursery invite you to a two-hour-long healing forest walk at Sunder Nursery, New Delhi. The walk will bring into play Mary Oliver's poetry as prompts and reflective tools to immerse in the forest. Oliver who claims to be saved by the glad sight of trees is one of the most loved poets of our times. Her poetry is a quiet saunter down the woods - inviting us to simply 'go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.'
