DETAILS

Experience how poetry can help you to develop a practice of mindfulness and holistic wellness. We also hope to serve as a catalyst for your creativity! Mindfulness enhances the therapeutic and transformational potential of poem-making and poetry. All together — poetry-as-healer, creativity and mindfulness — will greatly enrich the life you are living. Poem-making, when approached as a therapeutic, healing and transformational process, rather than with literary analysis and judgment, provides an opportunity for increased self-awareness and growth. This process encourages listening, connection, healthy surprise and meaning. In a Poetic Medicine Circle, poems are read out loud with the group to inspire discussion, and writing prompts. After each writing exercise, you are invited to read your poems to one another. You rewrite internal dialogues and narratives, while also feeling seen, deeply listened to, and connected to community. No prior experience with poetry required. Questions? Email us at info@crescentmooncenter.org
