"Poetically Speaking" Writing Workshop

Are you currently aware of the impact poetry is having in our community? As the world has been consistently changing people have become more aware of the role that trauma and mental illnesses can have in our day to day lives. People, now more than ever, are looking for ways to be empowered. Creative writing and poetry has become a vessel for coping with mental illnesses and provides a platform for our voices to be heard. Poetry should no longer be seen as just a literary art form. It is a foundation for freedom and expression. Poetry is opening so many doors for those battling with life challenges.

This workshop is designed to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their emotions, express themselves through poetry, and promote mental well-being.

Each class, participants will engage in various activities, guided prompts, and exercises combined with self-reflections. Our experienced facilitator will guide you through a range of techniques to help you tap into your creativity and use poetry as a means of self-expression.

Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn about the powerful connection between mental health and creative expression. We will explore different themes related to emotional well-being, such as self-acceptance, resilience, and finding strength in vulnerability.

You don't need to be an experienced poet to participate; this workshop series is open to individuals of all skill levels. Whether you're new to poetry or have been writing for years, our aim is to create a non-judgmental environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences.

By the end of the workshop, you can expect to have a collection of your own poems that reflect your personal journey and growth. Additionally, you will gain a deeper understanding of the therapeutic benefits of poetry and how it can positively impact mental health.

Join us in this transformative workshop, where words become a powerful tool for self-expression, healing, and building resilience. Let the magic of poetry guide you on your path to to an improved mental well-being.
