Who Attends Classes or Workshops Presented by The Institute for Poetic Medicine?
Our workshops will inspire and uplift anyone with a desire to express their deeper truth and creativity. John's work offers "a healing space," especially to individuals living with life altering illnesses.
People in therapeutic, healing, medical, teaching and pastoral professions will benefit deeply and find practical support as they reconnect to the inner impulse that drew them to their professional calling while discovering inner resources that will sustain them in their daily lives.
We believe poem-making is something that every person can have access to, at virtually any time or place. John's expertise is in providing a safe environment and the skillful means to claim that right for yourself. We believe this process is healing when shared in a community of others.
If you are just beginning to explore writing or have been writing for a long time, this work will encourage and refresh you.
