Poetry for your Soul Virtual Open Mic

Join us for a powerful session of creativity and connection! In this poetry writing circle, we’ll gather around the theme:
"The Seed You Planted"

Note: This is Open Write, you will collaborate with another Poet/Poetess
We'll start with 5 minutes of open discussion to explore the emotions and meanings behind the theme.

Afterward, we’ll collaborate as a group. You’ll have about five minutes to write a line or two inspired by our conversation or by a stanza I’ll share related to the theme. No pressure, just authentic expression.
(If you’d like, you can reflect on the theme beforehand and come with a few lines or a stanza already written.)
I’ll open the whiteboard, where you’ll be able to copy and paste your words. Either I or another participant will read the finished collaboration aloud.

Then, we'll break into pairs in breakout rooms to share, reflect, and deepen ideas with other poets and poetesses for about 20 minutes to collaborate. It is up to you how you choose to collaborate. We’ll return to the main room to perform the collaborations if you choose. You have the option to perform your collab at the Open Mic. Just let me know.

Come as you are, no perfect crowns or perfect poems needed. Just your voice, your spirit, and your creativity.

If you felt a meaningful connection with another member but time ran short, know that the collaboration doesn’t have to end there. You're welcome to reconnect after the event, to collaborate, create, and even bring your shared expression to life at the Open Mic. If you plan to collaborate, just let me know so we can make space for your voices to be heard.

Let's ignite our words!
