We invite therapists, counsellors, coaches, social workers, doctors, and teachers curious about the healing power of words.
Poetry therapy is the interactive use of poetry, expressive writing, and other forms of literature to promote self-discovery, growth, and healing.
During this online seminar for therapists, counsellors, coaches, social workers, doctors, and teachers, we will learn how to use poetry and self-reflective writing for personal and professional development. The seminar will have both the experiential interactive part, and a short theoretical introduction to poetry therapy.
Carefully selected poems will be our springboard for facilitated discussion and writing. Additionally, we will use a variety of thought-provoking prompts specifically chosen to inspire insights, enable a deeper understanding of ourselves and, in turn, prepare for change.
No prior knowledge of poetry or expressive writing is required. We invite you to experiment with words, reflect, and share, as little or as much as you want.
