Summer Poetry Series @ Studio 34

Do you enjoy writing poetry? Or, are you looking for a simple way to calm your mind? Join writer and poet, Lori Litchman, on a journey through writing poetry as an act of self-care, resistance, and love. Studies show that reading and writing poetry reduces stress and increases feelings of hope. Each workshop will start with a grounding and short guided meditation to quiet our minds. We’ll read some poetry for inspiration and then get busy writing our own poems. You’ll get an envelope of poetry prompts and a small poetry journal to take home. No previous poetry writing experience necessary!
