You are invited to dip into a creative circle in which you'll experience the impact of poetry and the poem-making process as a roadmap to
enhance and foster insights and wellness. The poems will be accessible, with no need to worry about analyzing anything! 

Poetry and poem-making are compelling and effective tools in the journey toward wholeness. They are a language below the surface to view the world through a broader lens. Poetic Medicine is based on 20 years of groundbreaking work, from John Fox, The Institute for Poetic Medicine and Poetry as a Tool for Wellness, integrating poetry and poem-making into mental health and wellness programs.

This workshop will include reflections on quotes, poems, writing prompts, and time to write. No prior experience with poetry or writing is necessary. 

Bring your curiosity and allow your unique voice to expand in this interactive respectful circle of learners.
