Poetry as Portal
A journey of remembering and reconnection through everyday ritual and verse.
In a culture that moves fast and demands so much, this journey is a gentle revolt - a reclamation of rhythm, reverence, and relationship. A way to slip beneath the noise of the world and meet what waits there - your breath, your voice, the land beneath you, the unseen that surrounds you, and the language of life that has never stopped speaking.
Each lesson opens a doorway—a threshold into a different layer of remembering. You’ll receive soft invitations - to write, to witness, to be witnessed. To remember your place in the web of life. To tend the threads of presence, of kinship, of sacred connection. To take aligned action in service of Life.
Here, poetry is not performance. It is a portal. Not a craft to perfect, but a practice to return to.
All you need is a willingness to listen.
“Poetry is not a luxury. It is a way of knowing.”

Why poetry?
Poetry can hold the unseen, the forgotten, the sacred. It speaks in the language of soul, body, and earth. It remembers what we’ve been taught to forget. That we are not separate. That we belong. That the world is alive. That we are never alone.
It is a form of sacred listening. A powerful invocation. A return to the deeper river of knowing beneath the noise.

The offerings are designed to be spacious and adaptable. You can spend anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes a day/doorway, depending on how deeply you wish to engage with the practices. Some days may call for a quiet reflection, while others may invite deeper writing or ritual. There is no need to keep pace—you can move slowly, skip days, or return when you're ready.

Not at all. This is not a technical poetry course. It's an invitation into presence, reflection, and reconnection. You don’t need to consider yourself a “writer” or a “poet.” If you can speak from your heart, if you can notice what’s moving within or around you—you are already participating. Your voice is welcome, just as it is.

Yes. This course was created for exactly those moments—when life feels scattered, when you long to slow down, when you want to reconnect but don’t know where to start. The practices are intentionally gentle and flexible. Even reading the daily note and pausing for a few breaths can be a meaningful act of return. You are invited to take what you need and leave the rest.

You will have lifetime access for as long as the course is hosted on this platform. That means you can revisit the material at your own pace, return to your favorite days, or repeat the journey seasonally as a cyclical practice of remembering.
