Poetic Medicine for the Wounded Healer
Many of us, whether we identify as being in the “healing arts” or not, have wounds that we understand as the foundation of our own ability to heal and to have compassion for others. In these sessions, we will open to whatever it is we consider our own “wounded places” and allow our poem-making to be part of our healing process. Learn more.
Loss, Losing, & Loosening
This group focuses on grief and healing. Loss, Losing & Loosening was coined by Eric Poche.
Loss is an irrevocable event.
Losing: acknowledgment of the pain of the loss.
Loosening: integration of the loss in one’s life.
