Awakening to Wonder and Awe: Poetry ...
About
Facilitator: Angela HazebroekAre you a parent, grandparent, or a teacher? Do you have nieces and nephews or godchildren? If your answer to any of these is yes, then you already
know something of the things that stop a small person in their tracks. You are familiar with the curiosity that is always looking for an answer to the question “Why?” You know that a ten-minute walk to the nearest park may take more than a half an hour—and not a second has been ‘wasted.’
Mary Oliver, a contemporary American poet, writes of the way being fully alive in nature is like prayer, will inform our reflections / responses to the poetry of others on this day. We hope it will also inspire you to express your own wonder and awe in words and/ or images. Can we see the world through the eyes of a child and awaken to beauty?
This day is suitable for all adults.
It is also approved by CESA as a System Accredited Module for teachers, requiring the submission of a 1500 word reflection paper
