Practicing Self-Care

"The blues bring you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together."

~ Peter Tork

Join us for this month's offering from the popular Poetry as a Tool for Wellness series!

Poetry and poem-making are compelling and effective tools in the journey toward wholeness. Poetry as a Tool for Wellness is based on more than 20 years of groundbreaking work integrating poetry and poem-making into mental health and wellness programs. These skills-based sessions offer participants a safe and creative circle in which to explore themes vital to wellbeing.

Holidays can bring us joy and sadness.

We invite you to join us to experience how poetry can be an effective tool as you prepare for the holiday season.

Together we will read, hear, and explore quotes and poetry. We will slow down and, in a safe place, make time to put our words on the page. Sharing our poems with one another will help relieve isolation and nourish healing community.

This sharing is by invitation: reading your poems is not required.

No previous experience with poetry is required.

PTW's gift is that it aims to make writing accessible to everyone.

Saturday, December 7, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. PDT / 12-2 p.m. MDT / 1-3 p.m. CDT / 2-4 p.m. EDT

"To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance."

~ Philip Andrew Adams
