Poetry/Storytellers Open Mic

We welcome Singer/Songwriters to gather online to share their creativity within a supportive community.

Comedy Open Mic - The Laughter Experiment provides an opportunity for comics to develop exciting new material, for audiences to hear perfected routines and for performers and audience members to interact with each other in different and creative ways. Anyone can perform at the open mic. Performers must register at RSR by 8 p.m. on the night of the performance. The number of performers determines how much time each performer gets, typically about 8 minutes, which they can split as they wish among presentation.

The group will put focus on each of the Mystical Poets and his/her life, influences and poetry. Following the reading or readings of the Master's works, conversation about the poem(s) and its mystical impact upon the listeners will be facilitated. Conversation may include how Mystical Poetry can impact one's personal journey, practices and personal poetry. In addition, sharing personal poetry written as part of one's spiritual practice expression may be shared in this safe and non-judgmental environment for creative, spiritual and mystical self -expression. Should the "Mystical Muse" be upon us and guide the group, time spent writing poetry either collaboratively, collectively or individually may unfold. Please bring your writing quill and parchment. ;-D) The purpose of this group is to engage and interact with Mystical Poetry, Prose, Prayers and Intuitive Thoughts so that the words and thoughts awaken you to an expansion of your Soul’s Creativity and Mystical Journey. It is requested that participants be supportive and non-judgmental while openly and honestly expressing the personal impact the poetry read has upon you. Please note this is not a Poetry Critique group nor a Spiritual practices discussion group. We look forward to you joining us and "playing" with the Muse of the Mystical Poet.
