#177 Poetry Pharmacy: A Workshop Where Healing Begins

We’re trying something new, playing poetry pharmacists!

Dearest, here’s your poetry workshop invitation for March. 💌

Poetry has long been a kind of quiet medicine, tending to the aches and joys of the heart with nothing but ink and breath.

This time, we step into the tender tradition of the Poetry Pharmacy, a practice borrowed from the likes of William Sieghart, who believed that the right poem, given at the right moment, could be just the remedy one needs.

Together, we’ll explore poems that hold space for every feeling, soft ones, sharp ones, the ones that sit in your chest like a secret.

And then, in a gentle act of care, we’ll write poetic prescriptions for one another, offering words as solace, as insight, as a way of saying, I hear you.

See you on Sunday, I’ll be waiting, with a pocket full of verses and a heart open to yours.

Goodness to walk away with from the nook:

I have been playing with a lot of magnet poems.

Make your own here: Magnetic poetry

I have also been reading Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, and will probably do a review later, here are some grabs from the book that I thought you might enjoy -

On that note, I will see you next week.

Keep that artist in you happy and with plenty to play with!
