What this experience is like in depth
Poetry Group is a creative and expressive approach. It is a community group focused on reading and often writing poetry together. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, members read a poem aloud, share reactions, and sometimes write on a prompt. You will sit, read, write, listen. This is offered in a group setting, typically 60 to 90 minutes, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Loneliness, Grief, Creative Blockage, and Identity Loss. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
