About This Event
Step into a slower rhythm with Wild Bloom Poetry in the Park, a thoughtfully curated outdoor writing experience produced by Bloom by Stella and rooted in the community-centered mission of Wild Bloom Poetry.
Set along the New River Landing at Huizenga Park, this gathering invites participants to reconnect with creativity through nature, reflection, and generative writing.
Blending mindfulness and poetic exploration, this experience is designed to feel like a sanctuary. A space to arrive as you are, breathe deeply, and create without pressure.
Whether you are a seasoned writer or simply curious, all levels are welcome.
What to Expect
Each session follows with a guided creative framework developed to support reflection, emotional expression, and community connection through poetry.
Opening: We begin with a grounding meditation and/or poem to settle into the space and attune to the natural surroundings.
Generative Writing + Optional Nature Walk Reflection: Participants receive thoughtfully designed prompts and materials before taking a slow, mindful walk through the park to observe, write, and reflect.
Optional Community Share: We close with an open, supportive exchange where participants may share a few lines or insights from their writing experience. Sharing is always invitational, never required.
Why This Experience Exists
Wild Bloom Poetry was created to make poetry accessible, communal, and alive outside traditional spaces.
This offering extends that mission by creating room for:
Slowing down
Reconnecting to voice
Exploring creativity in nature
Building meaningful community through art
It is not a performance.
It is a space to arrive, write, and simply be.
