The Global Heart - Poetry Club

Join us in a warm and inviting atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to read, listen, or express their thoughts on love through poetry. Explore the many facets of love as expressed in poetry, guided by the Greek concepts of:

• Eros: Passionate or romantic love
• Philia: Deep friendship and love between equals
• Storge: Familial love and empathy
• Agape: Unconditional, selfless love

This gathering serves as an opportunity to gently unfold what is already within us.
