Earth Week Hike, Poetry & Picnic

Join MIIS students, faculty, staff, and friends in a Saturday adventure to Jack’s Peak- April 27th from 2:00-5:00pm! This is a collaboration between Sustainability Council (rep. Ola Pozor) and Language Studies Department’s 5th annual poetry week (reps. Marie Butcher & Rana Issa), where we will take moments during our easy-moderate hike to pause, reflect, and craft or read some poetry inspired by the surrounding nature. No previous poetry writing or performance required- just an open mind to be mindful and appreciate all that our Earth has to offer. However, we welcome bringing your favorite nature poem to share with the group, if you’d like. Bring good walking/hiking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, water, and good vibes :) Following our ~ 1.5 hour hike, we will have a picnic and write/share more poems, color, and possibly play some games! Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 24th in order to coordinate carpools/ secure snacks & supplies!
