First Light: Longevity of Practice with (Soma)tic Rituals<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]2025 is CAConrad’s 50th anniversary of writing poetry, and over the past half-century, they have known many brilliant artists who stopped doing their work for various reasons, from being overwhelmed by their new and growing families or jobs to disappointments with the reception of their art. Using (Soma)tic Rituals can keep us vibrating on the frequency of our talents no matter what challenges lie ahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will focus on Intrusions, which vary from holding onto negative comments about our art to doubts that hinder moving forward with the things we want to create. These voices often come forward in times of crisis and shut many artists down. (Soma)tic Rituals can be used to remain focused, always treating our creativity like a vital organ.<\/p>\n

Former US-Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith wrote in The New York Times<\/em>, “CAConrad’s poems invite the reader to become an agent in a joint act of recovery, to step outside of passivity and propriety and to become susceptible to the illogical and the mysterious.”[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]This talk will be conducted in English.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_accordion active_tab=”false” collapsible=”yes” style=”boxed_accordion”][vc_accordion_tab title=”CAConrad” title_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#eeeeee”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1687372899171{padding-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”33424″ img_size=”250×334″ add_caption=”yes” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]CAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975.<\/p>\n
