Poetry helps us connect with our memories, emotions, and internal experiences. It develops self-awareness and advocacy skills, and helps reconcile our old selves with emerging identities.

Sharing in laughter and tears, this two-part series offers space to connect with others by honoring experiences and ways of expression through poetry.

The content and activities covered on July 19th will build upon the foundational skills that were explored and practiced on July 12th. If you are unable to attend both evenings (particularly the first night), we kindly ask that you join us for an event some other time.

There may be texts or experiences described that open wounds to others, and therefore, this event is suggested for people who are able to ground themselves when witnessing other’s pain, experiences, and stories, as well as willing to share their own. As a reminder, no one is required to share what they create or write, but it is highly encouraged to share at least some parts of your poetry.

This is an adult-only event (18+) and is open to both clients and community members.
