One Way Life
For Organizations
A 90-minute poetry and guided-conversation experience for arts organizations and nonprofits, and their staff or communities in the Seattle area.
90 minutes. Starting at $1,500.
Includes planning and facilitation.
A question to gather around
An arts organization might gather its staff around the meaning of its work. A nonprofit might bring its community together around a question it is living with. Poetry offers a shared text, with room for different ways of hearing it.
01
Choose the question
We begin with a conversation about your people and the occasion. Together, we choose a question worth spending time with.
02
Design the session
Brian selects poetry and shapes a sequence of reading, reflection and conversation around that question.
03
Gather and listen
Brian facilitates the 90-minute session. People can speak, listen or pass. The poems give the conversation a shared starting point.
The scope is agreed before a session is booked. Venue, travel and catering are not included in the starting price. Additional work is discussed separately.











What would you like to bring people together around?
