The Medicine of Poetry: A Prescription for our Times

 

Workshop Description

At this pivotal moment in history, there is a paradoxical urgency to slowing down, focusing on what matters most, looking into each other’s eyes, and speaking the truth. Poetry is the language of the innermost self, where the grit of our humanness meets the grace of our vastness. Hearing and speaking it aloud can literally change brain chemistry and thus dissolve painful patterns of thought, feeling, and physiology, aligning us with what is innocent, intimate, and holy within. This invariably ripples out to touch and transform the world around us.

Kim has innovated unique techniques of working with the Zoom video platform that allows for a lush immersion in music, poetry, movement, and connection. This is not 2.5 hours entrained to your device. It is an inner journey that will intentionally disrupt your ‘screen time’ because the primary focus is deep listening within.

Please join us as we call on the ancient power of poetry and music to awaken and heal ourselves, our communities, and the planet. It is not necessary to read, write, or even like poetry to participate and derive benefit from this course!
