What we’re about
Poetry is incredibly healing! Reading and writing poetry has been proven to help alleviate depressive and anxiety symptoms, foster a greater sense of self-awareness, encourage the expression of feelings, and much more.
You don’t have to be an accomplished poet, or even a poet at all to enjoy the healing effects of poetry. This group is about sharing, catharsis, learning, and friendly feedback.
Group meetings will be on Zoom and in-person, and take on a variety of formats. I will also offer ongoing Poetry Therapy workshops for those who are interested. I encourage anyone who is interested in poetry to attend!
First group meeting will be posted as soon as we have a few members join.
Please email me with any questions! I really look forward to sharing poetry with you.

*Most groups will be free, though some will be donation-based to help with Meetup fees. I will also offer paid workshops and do offer individual poetry therapy sessions for those interested:
