“Hidden Poems”

With reference to Rumi's "Hiding is the hidden purpose of creation".  We will work together to discover the poems we have hidden all our lives. "Call the secret 'language' and never be sure what you conceal" says Rumi - in Coleman Barks' translation.  More to be divulged - and discovered - in a workshop dedicated to unearthing our own secrets.
