Words to Live By: Hope

When we are feeling alone or in despair, Mary Oliver advises us to ‘let the soft animal of your body love what it loves’.

This festival edition of Words to Live By focuses on love in all it’s diversity. Bring a short excerpt of writing on love — a poem, a passage, a paragraph — that speaks to love for self, other or the world. We’ll read aloud to one another, listening across places and time for the way love connects, comforts and endures in uncertain times.

With afternoon tea provided, this is an event to nourish your body, soul and mind.
