Finding Peace Through Poetry

Was du lernen wirst
This course will help you find peace through poetry. It will guide you inwards and encourage you to explore the deepest parts of yourself, your shadow, and your soul. It will help you give voice to your inner child and the parts of you that are desperate to speak, express, and release. This is not a course on technical poetry writing. We are not aiming to write a publishable masterpiece, but rather to use the process of writing itself as a form of healing, connection, and growth. Each session begins with a poetry reading that will be combined with a teaching or practice that will help you get words onto the page – each session will be part instruction, part meditation, part introspection and part expression. At the end of each session, you will be invited to share your poetry and ask any questions that arise. In this way you will receive personalized guidance, feedback, and community connection. If you feel called to express yourself through poetry or writing, or intuitively know that you desire to find peace through poetry, this course is for you. I look forward to seeing you in the first session. Welcome!

Lektion 1
Getting The Most From This Course & Connecting With The Self
In this session we discuss the overarching goals of this course and how you can get the most out of it. Then we touch upon what poetry actually is and how you should approach the writing of your poetry within this course. We look at the poem ‘Dear Little Part Of Me’ using it as a touching point for connecting with the self and embracing silence as a way into peace through poetry.
Lektion 2
The Internal Editor
In this session we look at the presence and impact of the internal editor – the part of us that is judgmental, critical, and embarrassed – first asking it to step aside to allow us to write, and then to return to allow us to refine and express a specific point, emotion, or feeling. The poem ‘Music Of The Ever Present Moment’ was used to highlight the freedom of expression and poetic flow that can lead to peace.
Lektion 3
Writing Therapy
In this session we introduce the concept of writing therapy, the idea of using the page as a place to express what otherwise hasn’t been expressed. From there we looked over our words to uncover overarching themes and then attempted to find symbolism as a way to highlight what we are feeling and then subsequently take action, either in life, or on the page. This process of identification and refinement was modeled through the poem ‘I Float’.
Lektion 4
From The Body To The Page
In this session we introduce the poem ‘Broken Pottery’ as a lead into to a body scan – the goal being to identify and release tensions in the body and capture the feelings and emotions upon the page. This process will lead to deep insights and evocative poetry and ultimately peace.
Lektion 5
Internal Asking
In this session we delve deep into the subconscious. Though the internal asking of questions we are attempting to uncover what we need to know about ourselves and then to express it. I model this process with the poem ‘Inertia’ using it to highlight the answers to my inquiry and offer it to you as a guide for yours!
Lektion 6
Connecting To The Present Moment
In this session we discuss the different ways a poem may wish to be expressed, reworking the poem ‘This Moment Is Mine’ into different forms. We discuss the overarching goal of this course, emphasizing the goal of attaining peace. This session ends with a practice you can take beyond this course that will help you attain peace through poetry every day.

This course stirred my creativity and gave color and depth to my healing. And I read my poetry each day to my sisters because I was at my annual Sister Reunion while taking this course. My sisters and I had wonderful healing conversations from my readings. Thank you.😊
