Teaming up with Telluride Arts and thanks in large part to a CCAASE grant, the Telluride Institute’s Talking Gourds Poetry Program is once again holding live performance events in town.

The free program will start with a one-hour performance at the Telluride Arts venue, and then move across the street to Mangala Yoga and the Viceroy Café, where after some warm-up drinks participants will remove shoes and enter the yoga studio to meet in a Gourd Circle, sit on pillows, and share their stories and poems.

Schedule:

• December 22 - Ruth Duffy & Mike Olschewsky
• December 29 - Peter Waldor & Paulo Manguia
