This week we’re writing about medicine. The kind that keeps you alive when something inside you feels like it’s quitting.
All of us carry stories. Some are ours. Some belong to our parents and grandparents. Some come from histories that began long before we were born. Personal wounds. Family struggles. Cultural memory. Survival.
In this workshop we’ll begin by naming the wound.
Then we’ll explore what healing looks like.
Finally, we’ll build what I call a verbal altar inside a poem.
But we’re also going to build a real altar together.
If you’re coming, I invite you to bring one small object that represents medicine in your life.
It could be a photograph.
A feather.
A bus pass.
Running shoes.
A river stone.
A hospital bracelet.
Something from your grandmother.
Something that reminds you of home.
Something that reminds you that you survived.
We’ll place these objects together in the center of the room as a shared altar for the evening.
Medicine looks different for everyone.
It might be ceremony.
Therapy.
Basketball.
Prayer.
Laughter.
Land.
Community.
You do not have to be a poet to come.
You do not have to share your writing unless you want to.
This workshop is open to the whole community. Just bring your stories, a notebook, and an object for the altar.
Because sometimes writing is the medicine.
