The Hilton Head Poetry Trail -- A Presentation by Poet Elizabeth Robin
2024-09-14 14:00 - 16:00 | 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902, 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902
Let’s talk about the Hilton Head Poetry Trail
Have you heard? Hilton Head Island has a poetry trail! Want to visit but can’t get there now? Know what’s in store before you go? Learn how to create a trail in your own town? Join us for a special presentation by award-winning poet Elizabeth Robin, all about the Hilton Head Poetry Trail.
A marriage of technology, creative writing, public art, and arts-minded businesses, the Hilton Head Poetry Trail offers a new way to see Hilton Head Island: through the eyes of the poets who live there. Grabbing extra copies of Local Life Magazine? Scan the sign placed inside the front door and read a Pop-up Poets collaboration. Contemplating the landscape as you rest on Toni Morrison’s bench at Mitchelville Freedom Park? Read James Mallory’s poem “The Beautiful Couple.” Confused, asking “What is it?” as you stare at Caracol in Shelter Cove Park? Scan the trail sign and Jacque Markham gives you one interpretation.
It’s the kind of collaboration that makes the arts an experience. A unique approach to a public arts project, this trail brings poetry into public spaces in a permanent-yet-flexible medium. Because it uses QR codes, the trail can track its visits and regularly switch out trail content to include more poets and poems at each site. Monthly visits have averaged over 300 readings from 20-plus states and 4 or more foreign countries in its first year. Some poems have been read over 1,000 times!
The project is a partnership between the town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Island Writers Network. The technology guru and idea man on the project is Bill Schmitt, who developed the logo, the sign design and Facebook page. Natalie Harvey, the Director of Cultural Affairs, oversees the sculptures approved for the project and the affixing of signs near the public art and park installations. Poet Elizabeth Robin recruited the poets and the businesses that are participating, and pairs poems to locations.
Elizabeth Robin, retired teacher and award-winning poet, is the author of three collections of poems published by Finishing Line Press: To My Dreamcatcher (2022), Where Green Meets Blue (2018) and Silk Purses and Lemonade (2017). She partnered with the Office of Cultural Affairs to establish the Hilton Head Poetry Trail, a 25-station route of local poets. A Piccolo Spoleto Sundown Poet (2023), she won the 2021 Carrie McCray Nickens Fellowship, was an Island Writers Network open mic emcee for eight years, and creates literary programs on Hilton Head Island. Recent work appears in Tall Women, The Jasper Project: Poetry of the People, Poetry Society (SC) Yearbook, Catfish Stew, Ukweli, Drunk Monkeys and others.

An Evening with Lowcountry Legend Ron Daise, Author of Raptors in the Ricelands
2024-09-10 17:00 - 18:30 | 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902, 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902
The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with lowcountry legend Ron Daise, author of the newly published novel Raptors in the Ricelands, on Tuesday, September 10, at 5:00 p.m., at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St., Beaufort). Free and open to the public. Books will be available for sale and signing. Seating is limited; please call in advance to reserve: 843-379-7025.
About the Book and Author:In the twenty-first century fictional community of Georgetown, South Carolina, a story unfolds revealing family secrets and conflicts that challenge cultural beliefs. With bighearted intention, newlyweds Florence and Chadwick Wineglass attempt to promote economic legacy, but their unconscious motives often ensnare those they assist. The Wineglasses become raptor-like in their generosity at a moment when other community members’ intentions also prove to be menacing.Conveyed in four acts and with chapter names that follow the production stages of Carolina Gold Rice, Raptors in the Ricelands spans the future, the present, and the past, and fosters a message of connection with African diasporic communities around the globe. Historical accounts include the Orangeburg Massacre; Black church life, particularly in Oconee County as begun during slavery; the launch of White supremacy in Fort Mill; the Reconstruction Era; and the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
“Ron Daise is an American griot. In this novel, Daise welcomes us into his village and, with his words, feeds our imagination and spirit. His voice connects our past with the present and helps us to get a glimpse of what our future might look like. This modern-day Gullah tale reflects the experiences of many Americas; in fact, it creates a bridge from the Lowcountry of South Carolina to the world.”–Alison Mc Letchie, Assistant Professor, Department of Social Sciences, South Carolina State University
“The many characters in this fictional story seem familiar and fully realized as Daise expertly shows the reader the connectivity between their lives, their Gullah culture, and the valuable “Carolina Gold” rice. Equally important in this book are the teachings of Marcus Garvey Jr., and the reminder that all that humanity can only move forward when we unselfishly commit to helping those most in need.’–Eric Crawford, author of Gullah Spirituals: The Sound of Freedom and Protest in the South Carolina Sea Islands
Ron Daise, a son of St. Helena Island, SC, is an author, performer, educator, and cultural interpreter. His books, productions, and recordings have documented and shaped Gullah Geechee heritage since 1986. Co-star of “Gullah Gullah Island,” Nick Jr. TV’s award-winning children’s program of the 1990s, Ron also is a former chairman of the federal Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, and is featured in exhibits at the International African American Museum, Charleston, SC; the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington, DC; and Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC.

If this is your very first cacao ceremony or sound bath, WELCOME!!!
You do not need prior knowledge or experience with Cacao, meditation, or any other Soul-connecting modalities offered in any Night Retreat event.
If you’re on the fence or feeling intimidated, no worries—I’ve got you!
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING THE CEREMONY 😍:
1. First we’ll be setting some gorgeous intentions for limiting thoughts, beliefs, people, places, things, etc, to let go of during our cacao ceremony, letting Mama Cacao do her job to clarify or elaborate what those intentions might be.*See footnote for description of cacao
2. Next, we’ll lay on yoga mats and cushions (bring a yoga mat if you have one!) and allow Mama Cacao to flow through our bodies. This will bring us to a place of simultaneous peace and higher awareness while we are entranced by the deep healing frequencies of a 7-piece 432 Hz crystal singing bowl set.
3. After the ceremony and meditative experience, we’ll sit in a circle and let whoever feels called to share their experience do so. There is no pressure to share whatsoever. This journey is intended to be whatever it’s meant to be for you.
I will guide you through each step of the process and hold space for whatever might come up.
I consider myself an expert in the healing field and feel honored to walk by your side for such an incredible experience.
So wear some comfy clothes you can lay down in, bring a yoga mat if you have one, a bottle of water to stay hydrated, and a towel.
Other than that, just bring yourself, your open heart, and let yourself be supported and led while days, months and even years of heaviness wash away within this special space.
I cannot wait to see you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please DM me (Dana) or email me at Dana@danahayes.com.
See you at the event!
Love,
Dana
*If you’re wondering what cacao is, it’s a gentle, chocolate plant medicine drink with mood, consciousness, and perception-altering properties that lovingly lift you to feel more “in-spirit” or “inspired”.
Don’t worry, it’s not going to make you hallucinate or “trip”…it’s extremely mild, yet incredibly potent at the same time…think a big, warm hug for your insides and a little energy lift for your outside.If you’d like more information, see below for the description of Cacao as described by the company from which I source our pure, medicinal-grade cacao.
**”Cacao as an EntheogenDue to its ability to interact with the mind, Cacao is also known as an entheogen. Entheogens are psychoactive substances (often derived from plants) that can induce temporary shifts in perspective, mood, or perceptions and are often utilized for spiritual purposes. While these substances can be hallucinogenic (like psilocybin or Ayahuasca), they do not all fall under that category.
Cacao is one of the gentler entheogens. It is classified as a psychoactive (from the Greek psykhē “soul, mind, spirit; the invisible animating principle or entity which occupies and directs the physical body) but not a psychedelic. Though it influences the mind – especially in high dosages – unlike psychedelics, it is not hallucinogenic and therefore does not impair cognitive functioning. In fact, despite Cacao’s phenomenal advantages for spiritual work, it was largely ignored in the 1960s resurgence of medicinal plants precisely because it does not work the same as psychedelics. For all the shifts in perspective and mood, Cacao provides a fully embodied experience, which is why it is a powerful ally to incorporate into daily practice.”
