Description

Jennifer Schelter finds mystic spaces in the Morris Arboretum canopy for participants to be together and alone with sensations in the garden. She creates a meditative state with her own calm demeanor, poetry readings, and quiet invitation to contemplate relationships with the natural world. She took the group to:

Places where they touched not knowns.

Discovered hidden truths.

Learned about streams inside themselves.

Swirling rapids.

Images, memories, words.Waters wet enough to extinguish thirst. 

– From Lynn Benjamin, May 30, 2023

It Was on a Slope

Description in poetry of a poetry class with Jennifer.
