YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A WRITER! More Details and SIGN UP
In this one-hour “Poetry Café”, co-sponsored by the MERI Center for Education in Palliative Care and Art for Recovery, we will enter the realm of creativity through the art of “Poem-Making”
We will:
• Create a safe environment for each other-with a short guided meditation and music
• Listen to some poems read out loud and see how they make us feel
• Use some specific words or “prompts” to encourage our own “poem-making”
• Share our poetic explorations
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to express our feelings and connect to our own creativity and community. Join us in using poetry writing as self-care and explore our feelings, fears, and hopes.
