Unquiet Minds

Join Victoria’s Poet Laureate, Kyeren Regehr, for an afternoon of poetry, music and community connection in the heart of nature. Featuring readings by Maleea Acker, Fatima-Ayan Malika Hirsi and Youth Poet Laureate Shauntelle Dick-Clarkson.

This year’s gathering also includes music by Lex Venn, a sound practitioner who works with crystal bowls and other instruments to create restorative experiences and a special welcome by Brianna Bear.

✨ Bring a blanket, a chair and something to sip - then stay to share your own words in a collaborative Community Poem.
Free and open to all.

📅 Sunday, June 8
🕑 2 p.m.
📍 Beacon Hill Park (near the Garry Oak Meadow)

Let’s gather, reflect and celebrate our shared connection to the land.
