This full-day creative ceremony will celebrate the life-affirming and medicinal power of poetry as described by the beloved poet Mary Oliver: "Poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, and something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry."

2)Honoring Our Pain for the World:
Acknowledge and honor the emotions we feel in response to the world's suffering. Transform this pain into compassion and solidarity.

Gain new perspectives and insights, allowing poetry to open your mind and heart to the possibilities of renewal and change.
4)Going Forth:

Embrace the Transformative Power of Poetry
This workshop offers a safe, supportive, and creative space for individuals to explore poetry as a tool for psychological growth and spiritual transformation. By honoring our emotions and reframing them as compassion, we reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
Whether you're a seasoned poet or new to the art or just a lover of poems, this workshop invites you to discover poetry as a life-cherishing medicinal force that nurtures the soul and ignites the spirit. Join us for a day of creativity, connection, healing and celebration!
