Healing through Writing

Friday November 13th 5:00pm – Sunday November 15th 2:00pm
Presented by Peter Yaremko

Peter Yaremko, an author and poet, leads participants in this weekend program to focus on poetry and their own well-being – a little oasis in which to bask in the beauty of healing words and learn to tap into their inner wellspring of creativity. Topics include: how poetry heals and empowers, de-mystifying poetry, how to write simple poems that ease stress, anxiety and trauma. Participants will write poems and share insights in a supportive, no-critique environment
