Qarrtsiluni: In the Darkness, Waiting for Something to Happen

Experience the transformative power of poetry and music with Qarrtsiluni, a monthly session that invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of words and sounds. Derived from the Iñupiaq (Indigenous Alaskan) word meaning "sitting together in the darkness, waiting for something to burst," Qarrtsiluni embraces the anticipation and shared moments of discovery.

No prior experience is required to embark on this enchanting journey. Whether you're a seasoned poetry lover or new to the world of music, Qarrtsiluni welcomes all who seek solace, inspiration, and connection through art.

Each session of Qarrtsiluni is a time dedicated to listening. As you settle in, you'll be treated to a captivating poem read aloud and a mesmerizing musical composition. Close your eyes, let the words or melodies wash over you, and allow yourself to be transported to another realm of emotions and imagination.

But Qarrtsiluni is more than just passive listening. It's an opportunity to engage with the art, to let it stir something within you. As the lights dim, you'll find yourself amidst a community of fellow participants, ready to share the reflections and insights that emerge during this intimate experience. Together, we explore the depths of human experience, uncovering deep meanings, and finding connections that resonate within us all.

Qarrtsiluni celebrates the revelations found in “everyday apocalypses.” It's a space where we acknowledge the profound moments of change and transformation that occur within our ordinary lives. Through the exploration of poetry and music, we honor the complexities of existence, finding solace in the midst of chaos and inspiration amidst the mundane.
