Join us for an evening with author Mary Reynolds Thompson as she discusses her book, Reclaiming The Wild Soul.  Darkness is a significant aspect of the forest landscape she writes about in Reclaiming the Wild Soul.

Mary will also talk about how darkness influences the creative process.

This will be an experiential evening filled with poetry and opportunities for the daring to write.

“We know we are bound by darkness, born into mystery.”

“When we embrace darkness, we learn that our ideas need time to quietly take root, away from harsh light of the everyday world.”

“If you have ever dared to brave the depths of your creativity, you know the power of darkness.”

--Reclaiming the Wild Soul
