Who? You and your Port Townsend poet laureate.
What? A Poet’s Walk—Journey on foot together at Fort Worden Park from Rainshadow to Memory’s Vault with Port Townsend poet laureate, Rufina C. Garay
Plan for an hour for a walk, a portion of which will be uphill. The walk will take place rain or mist, so please dress accordingly with layers and any outerwear that feels appropriate and comfortable.
Bring a pen with a cap and a small notebook or sheet of paper to serve as a field notes guide for your observations of beauty or memory, or both.
Rufina will provide a prompt about memories and a short meditation known as rainbow bridge that is heart, throat, and spirit-centered. Collect your poetic thoughts as you walk.
Have tea and some cookies together after the walk and pin down some of those thoughts in your field notebook.
Where? Meet outside of Rainshadow Recording Studio at Fort Worden. Rainshadow is located in Building 315, just past the Madrona MindBody Institute if you go straight when you enter the park. Please note that vehicles need a Discovery Pass to park at Fort Worden.
