Let Poetry Heal Your Hurt Workshop

This workshop focuses on reading poetry and/or sharing your own personal poetry. Poetry has the potential to help us in a number of ways:

• Enables us to think the unthinkable, to master our fears,
   to begin to imagine a positive outcome.

• Assures us that others have experienced our pain and
  have survived to write about it.

• Acknowledges our fears, calms our fantasies, helps clear
  our confusion, offers a positive image and opens the
  possibility of hope.

• Encourages reflection, perspective and insight.

• Encourages us to put feelings into words.

• Can provide consolation to those seeking solace and
   support
