The Power of a Good Cry: Writing Poetic Lament as a Path to Healing
4:15pm - 5:30pm Friday Oct 25, 2024
Presenter
In Person Only, Not Recorded
Whether we’re feeling the weight of traumatic world events or experiencing grief from personal loss, there are times even words feel inadequate. How can poetry help? Like the power of a good cry, pouring our messy and overwhelming emotions into the poetry of lament offers both release and distance, giving us a safe way to explore, process, and move further along the path to healing. We’ll practise a simple approach to writing poetic lament; no experience with poetry necessary. Workshop includes writing time.
