Polywood 2024 Collective Poem

Bottoms Up (because this was written and read bottom to top)

 

Polywood Camping weekend

Polywood weekend is a collaborative community

We create connection like a bird bringing seeds home to the nest

At Polywood we can be ourselves, finally at rest

Seeing ourselves in others and others within ourselves

Designing dynamics

Transforming love

Multiplying connection

Growing community and families

Polywood weekend is the most incredibly connective, authentic and loving experience

Being here is about being seen and known for who we are, boldly naked of defence

When at Polywood I realize I am not alone in questioning myself

The imprint of above and kindness is immense

And kindness is found when making fires,

And burning fires create sparks of love

That turn into butterflies and fly away

But the butterflies remain, living in my tummy

I wish instead to sink my teeth into something yummy

This is Polywood,

A weekend of seeing kindred hearts through different eyes.
