live percussion; workshops; conversations and networking sessions for people from
all walks of life.

well as national gardens in and around KZN. To date they have featured poets
from all walks life , musicians, artists, doctors, publishers, researchers,
writers to care-givers, physicists and government officials, to name a few.
