Please bring vegetarian snacks, drinks, firewood, poems, songs, stories, peace & love, etc to share.
The Shivastan Poetry Ashram is a community based independent book shop, art gallery, giftshop & grassroots co-operative promoting poetry, friendship, wisdom & compassion for all beings located in central Woodstock NY.
We are NOW OPEN - please stop by any afternoon 1 to 6pm & browse the thousands of new, used & rare books; art & oddities; unusual jewelry, crafts & gifts from India & Nepal.
Frequent gatherings involve an outdoor sunset bonfire in a beautiful secret garden; an informal poetry/music/story sharing circle; & usually a vegetarian potluck. Most events are free & open to the public. (shop & garden unfortunately are not wheelchair accessible. Masks are encouraged, proof of vaccination is not required)
The Woodstock Shivastan Poetry Ashram was started by poet & publisher Shiv Mirabito - it is loosely based on Ed Sanders' LES community Peace Eye Bookshop, Allen Ginsberg's Cherry Valley Committee on Poetry, & Angus Maclise & Ira Cohen’s Spirit Catcher Bookshop on Freak Street in Kathmandu. It is the home base of the small press Shivastan Press {Woodstock~Kathmandu} which has published limited edition poetry chapbooks & broadsides on handmade paper in Nepal since 1997 by some of the most exciting poets in America. It is our 27th anniversary this year! 😊
