Renewal of Founders Circle membership starts NOW, in alignment with the Autumn Equinox and a time in which we experience an equal balance between day and night. Moving with the changing seasons, we shift our mindsets towards the attitudes of fall: harvest, abundance, togetherness. As the angle of light deepens, we celebrate the 7th Cascadia Poetry Festival and the release of our iconic anthology, Cascadian Zen Vol. I and we are filled with gratitude for the abundance of community, poetry and art that Cascadia Poetics Lab seeks to promote and celebrate through our activities.
Founder’s Circle supporters are the backbone of this organization, founded in 1993 and re-branded September 1, 2021 to better reflect current times through “empowering people to practice poetry and deepen connections to place, self and the present moment.” The Founders Circle asks for an annual donation of $100 (or more) for general use in meeting our mission. Anything donated beyond this initial $100 can be assigned to a specific Cascadia Poetics Lab project chosen by the donor. Founders Circle members receive exclusive Cascadia Poetics Lab benefits: the opportunity for early-bird purchase of a Gold Pass for our Cascadia Poetry Festivals (next one in November 2024), and a choice of 1 of 3 books: Samthology, American Prophets, or Cascadian Prophets.
We appreciate your support for our organizations and major offerings, like the Poetry Postcard Fest, the Cascadian Prophets podcast and archives, the Cascadia Poetry Festival and our publishing ventures. In a small organization like ours, a little goes a long way.
