About This Event
Discover how poetry can nurture mindfulness, creativity, and healing, serving as a gateway to holistic wellness and growth.
The safe, supportive space we co-create invites us to reflect on our experiences, to listen deeply to other’s, and perhaps even reshape our understanding of poetry itself.
Together, we’ll explore insightful poems and quotes, engage in meaningful discussions, and participate in writing exercises.
This month, we will focus on Being in Gratitude and consider:
- how we can cultivate a sense of appreciation or gratitude.
- focusing on the present as a helpful strategy
- how gratitude can bring us a sense of well-being.
Poem-making, when approached as a therapeutic, healing and transformational process, provides an opportunity for increased self-awareness and growth.
By incorporating presence, mindfulness, and intent listening throughout our practice, we help one another unlock creative expression accessible through the weaving of words.
Our Poetic Medicine Circle provides a refuge to engage openly with others, cultivating connection through sharing our writing, all while welcoming people of any poetry background. No prior experience with poetry required.
Poetry circles are FREE! Donations welcome. 100% of contributions support people in recovery from mental health challenges - stress, trauma, addiction and disability.
Many thanks to Open Hearts Foundation, Solano County, and Yocha Dehe Community Fund for ensuring our workshops are accessible to all.
Poetry as a Tool for Wellness is a program developed by The Institute for Poetic Medicine, a nonprofit founded in 2005 by poet-educator John Fox, PPM. For over 20 years, these poetry circles offered welcoming spaces for self-expression and creativity.
