...

“It’s important to honour what the practice really is: showing up with wonder, curiosity, openness, spaciousness, with a love of mystery.”

— Rosemerry Trommer

In the second episode of Wild Heart Revival, Rosemerry Trommer beckons us into a grounded exploration of the plentiful well of possibility that is poetry, inviting us to draw from its depths and discover the richness therein. Where Earth, Heart, and Spirit converge, the wild and rugged beauty of cave-like love exists, alongside the graceful flight of rough-legged hawks, and the radiant warmth of the sun. With sincerity and transparency, Rosemerry unveils the poetic gifts nestled within grief, love, and wonder, inviting us to embrace the simplicity that underlies each moment. Join us as we wander through the tangled landscapes of language and poetry, with bewilderment, curiosity, and a reverence for the mysteries that surround us.
