PSNY + Haricot Vert Generative Workshop: A Spring Equinox Writing Ritual

Spring sits on the horizon. Celebrated traditionally as a day of fertility, balance, and new life, the word equinox derives from the Latin for "equal night." During this time, trees are about to burst, the last frost will pass, and the earth will begin to soften again, preparing for spring rains. During spring, we can tap into language and symbols of possibility.

In this writing workshop, we'll practice word witchery through ritualizing our writing, setting an intention, and crafting a blessing on all that will bloom in spring.

About PSNY: The Poetry Society of New York is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to promoting poetry within our culture. We envision a world where poetry is not just celebrated, but vital and accessible to all: breaking down barriers, inspiring joy, and uplifting diverse voices. Rooted in the belief that poetry belongs to us all, our mission is to create experiences of poetry where people from all walks of life can explore, express, play, and find a sense of belonging. By prioritizing accessibility, experimentation, collaboration, and undeniable fun, we aim to foster community and innovation in the often stale and isolating literary sphere. Each of our programs offers an invitation into a vibrant poetry world specifically designed to stimulate discovery, wonder, and life-long friendships between artists.
