Poetry & Healing |
|
|
|
Poetry is magic. Poetry is healing. Poetry is lushness. ***** Poetry
is a vital manner in which to communicate to the self and with the
world. I have been writing and reading poetry for almost 30 years. I have found joy, solace, freedom, and the tools for digging deeply in the black mud of my darkest fears and most pressing yearnings. Poetry permits sunlight where darkness wants to tread, and too, poetry permits darkness when sunlight is not desired. Because
of my kindred dance with poetry, I am able to teach others via classroom
and on-line courses. To find and use their words to reach their soul, in
many cases and to reach into the souls of others because of their
stunning creations, is something that I inspire my students to do. They participate
in the act of creating, of shaping, and of acknowledging art, of
fostering healing. On
my Poetry Web Site www.dance-with-words.com
individuals have a space to write and to share their work in a kindred
community that participates in the pleasure and the vital necessity of
penning their souls into the universe. Sharing. Teaching. Learning.
Speaking. Hearing. As
a Member of the National Association for Poetry Therapists, and an
experienced poet, writer, and speaker, I find and offer others
techniques to write their truths, to embrace the paradoxes of being
alive, and to live rich and rewarding lives. I
warmly invite you to the courses, talks, and workshops that I have to
offer so you too can feel the healing effects of poetry. Please feel
free to review the testimonials of what others have had to say about my
works and offerings. Sincerely, |
