Virtual Event View stream information Free Event

Poem-making and listening is a form of healing that enables us to creatively express feelings and be surprised at the words that flow through us.

Offered by Redwing Keyssar, RN, Author & Poet, of the UCSF MERI Center for Education in Palliative Care with MUSIC by Patrice Haan, Harper with UCSF Art for Recovery

In this one -hour session we will:

·Do brief self-introductions

·Listen to a poem or two

·Respond to the poems by simply repeating words or a line that resonates in you or makes you curious or questioning.

- The INTENTION is to stay focused in our hearts, rather than our minds.

- We will come to appreciate the opportunity to just listen to the words and to each other's responses to the words. This is different than "discussing" a poem, which is not the intention in our short time together.

·THEN we do short writing sessions (2-5 minutes) based on a prompt

·If you choose to read what you have written (which we encourage!), then others will again reflect back what lines resonate for them.
