You are invited to attend Poetry Reflections, a From the Heart Zoom event. The theme for the evening is With the Waters.

Three Indigenous poets will share their connection with water through their work and stories: James Pakootas, Stevey Seymour, and Smokii Sumac.

Each guest brings their unique sight, and together with these perspectives and our own reflection, they will share intimacy with the element of Water in our lives. This will be a lyrical and inspiring evening.
