Please join us this weekend to hear several local poets read their poems inspired by nature.

Researchers have discovered that one simple way to transform our stressful lives is to experience more awe. It will make us happier and feel more whole. One place we can get that awe is in nature. There is a great deal of research that says being in nature, whether that is your backyard or deep in the woods, even just sitting on a raw wood Adirondack chair, can lighten your mood and improve your health.

Think about that last beautiful sunset you saw or that mountain range in the blazes of fall or when you were struck into silence by the ferocity and vastness of the ocean, or maybe it was as simple as the first unfolding peony in your garden--remember that inexpressible “Wow”? That awe is something we lack in our lives of hustle and bustle, come by The Gatehouse for an afternoon of poetry to get more of that beauty and awe in your life.
