TRANSFORMATIONAL POETRY WORKSHOPS
Adult Workshops at Art from Ashes
Adult workshops allow participants to express themselves through poetry, using seldom-used
right-brain creative ability and the power of words to heal. The words we choose to define ourselves and our reality can dictate how we think, what we do—even our experiences and circumstances. By learning to harness the creativity of the right-brain and express yourself honestly and beautifully, you will be empowered to change your life and achieve your highest goals. Each six-week session is 1 hour and 15 minutes a week and is limited to six people.
Poetry writing workshops are designed to enhance the connection between the cognitive self and the creative right brain and do not focus on writing skills development. All levels of writers (including those who think they are not) are welcome and will benefit. Adult workshops help support our work with youth.
"This workshop was enlightening, encouraging, and most of all, honest. In this safe and generous space I overheard myself saying things I did not know I knew."
—Rev. Greg Cummins, Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church
"The workshops very much met my deepest emotional needs at this time/moment in my life. It was a release and I shared aspects of the experience with loved ones."
—Jennifer Hampton, dance therapist
"This was a growth experience and an awareness catalyst."
—Jane Schmitz, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church
