Words to Live By with Dr Kelly Lee Hickey

When the world feels heavy, we gather with words that have helped us breathe. Bring a short excerpt of writing you love — a poem, a passage, a paragraph — that has offered comfort, strength or companionship in difficult times. We’ll read aloud to one another, listening across places and time for how others have endured, cared, and kept going, and for language we can gently carry with us through these uncertain days. With afternoon tea provided, this is an event to nourish your body and your mind.

Dr Kelly Lee Hickey, whose writing, art and research explores creative ways for communities to connect in times of crisis and climate change.
