Poetry for Grief & Healing

Writing while grieving has been known to boost the immune system and increase mood and well-being. Writing can also help release difficult emotions and is a tool for self-expression.

Join poet, educator, and artivist AMANDA SHEA in a poetry writing workshop about healing from grief. The workshop will include a meditation, writing prompts, and an invitation to share with the group. No previous writing experience is required.

The workshop will take place in Bigelow Chapel.

Capacity: 25 people

Arrive before the workshop and speak with current Artist-in-Residence, Emily Duggan, to take home a free, customized, improvisational poem. No registration required. Emily will be on the lawn in front of Bigelow.
