At the heart of Echo & Release are two connected acts: voicing hidden histories and being witnessed. The afternoon moves through video poetry, symbolic interpretation, and audience response; conversation and optional creative practice; and finally an immersive gong and singing-bowl journey in the Anglican Chapel, allowing for integration beyond language.

 

The NCVP also reclaims poetry as an oral tradition, reaching back beyond the printed page to song, story, myth, orature, and the human voice as a means of carrying experience, memory, and culture.
