GROUP SIZE: Registration is limited to 10 participants
Discover how poems and words can support self-understanding, imagination, healing, and well-being.
In this generously supportive group, participants will read and respond to poetry, reflect on its personal meaning, and explore their own words and experiences. The focus is not on literary analysis or writing the “perfect” poem, but on discovering how poetry can help us see ourselves, our lives, and the world in new ways.
No previous poetry or writing experience is necessary.
