Conversations With Grief

Grief.

What a few years of grief it has been for our planet.

In true mortality, and in deep changes or endings to many aspects of our identity and relationships.

In our lives there are the big griefs that we may name and know more familiarly—death of loved ones, divorces, break ups, careers ending.

And there are also little griefs—friendships growing apart quietly without formal conversations,  familial ruptures left open, beloved co-workers transitioning, moving and grieving the landscape and environment both in the home and natural world that once nourished and resourced us.

In my life, poetry has been one of the deepest ways to self process, reflect and complete parts of my story.

It’s been a container of transformation for me.

When you write you are present to yourself in a way you may not have experienced before.

Intimate in a way I believe we all owe ourselves.

It’s a way to see ourselves and move forward lighter, more empty and holding on a little less.

I joke that my therapist is my pen and she saves me every time—except it’s really not a joke at all. 

I want you to experience first hand what it’s like to pen out your soul onto paper—in a poem.

Many of us as adults don’t want to try new things because we are afraid of failing or not being good at something.

But what we’ve missed in that is the deep importance of our relationship with creativity and expression.

Whether you are a writer, or have never written a poem in your life—this workshop is for you.

Come join us on this recorded poetry workshop and learn the art of somatic and embodied storytelling through poetry + experience the liberation of writing your own story down.
