SUMMARY:🌿 The Living Poets Society Words Beneath the Trees
LOCATION:Starbucks coffee wadakura faountain park
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 20% · why: lots of
  people going\n\n"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We rea
 d and write poetry because we are members of the human race."\n— Dead Poet
 s Society\n\n\n\n🌸 Event Description\n\nHave you ever come across a few wo
 rds that stayed with you long after you read or heard them?\nPerhaps it wa
 s a poem.\nA paragraph from a novel.\nSong lyrics you always return to.\nA
  line from a film.\nA letter.\nA journal entry.\nOr simply a sentence that
  arrived at exactly the right moment in your life.\nLet's gather beneath t
 he trees of Kokyo Gaien National Garden for a gentle afternoon of sharing 
 the words that have shaped us.\nThis isn't a literature class.\nIt's not a
 bout analysing poetry or finding the "correct" meaning.\nInstead\, it's a 
 space to slow down\, listen\, and discover how different words have quietl
 y accompanied each of us through life.\nSometimes a single sentence can co
 mfort us.\nSometimes it can change us.\nSometimes it simply reminds us tha
 t we're not alone.\n\n\n\n🌿 Before the Event\n\nBefore the meetup\, I'd lo
 ve for each participant to send me one piece of writing that you'd like to
  share via Instagram or email.\nInstagram: tokyoconnections\nEmial: euphie
 yanqsj@gmail.com\nIt could be:\n📖 A poem\n🎵 Song lyrics\n📚 A passage from 
 a novel or book\n🎬 A quote from a film\n💌 A letter\n📝 A journal entry\n✨ O
 r simply any words that have stayed with you.\nIf your selection isn't in 
 English\, please include an English translation if possible so everyone ca
 n enjoy it together.\nI'll print everyone's submission before the event an
 d prepare a small collection for us.\n\n\n\n🌳 Our Quiet Walk\n\nWhen every
 one has arrived\, I'll give each participant their printed piece.\nBefore 
 we begin talking\, we'll spend ten minutes walking quietly through Kokyo G
 aien National Garden\, reading our chosen words in silence.\nNo conversati
 ons.\nNo introductions.\nJust you\, the trees\, the afternoon light\, and 
 the words you've chosen.\nThink of it as a gentle way to arrive—not just p
 hysically\, but mentally.\nWhen we return\, we'll gather in a circle and b
 egin sharing.\n\n\n\n🌼 What to Expect\n\n📖 Reading meaningful words togeth
 er\n🤍 Listening without judgement\n🌿 Gentle conversations inspired by lite
 rature\, music and life\n🎨 Creating a handmade poetry & words collection\n
 📷 A peaceful afternoon beneath the trees\n\n\n\n📚 Our Handmade Collection\
 n\nAt the end of the afternoon\, we'll decorate everyone's printed pages t
 ogether using tapes\, stickers\, dried flowers\, coloured pens and other c
 raft materials.\nThen we'll bind everything into a handmade collection—a s
 mall time capsule of the words that brought us together.\nHopefully\, this
  will become Volume One of many future gatherings.\n\n\n\n✨ Our Community 
 Poem\n\nBefore saying goodbye\, everyone will write one sentence inspired 
 by the afternoon.\nWe'll combine every sentence into one collaborative poe
 m written by all of us together.\nA small reminder that every voice contri
 butes to something larger.\n\n\n\n📍 Location\n\nKokyo Gaien National Garde
