OBOC Connections: Finding Balance Between Self-Care and Community

Age(s) 18 – Adult

In this five-session workshop, we'll read poetry, discuss, and write for greater well-being. We’ll start with the idea of "querencia"-defining a personal safe and happy place, and move through the realms of friendships/relationships with others, work-life equilibrium, our fundamental connection to nature, and finish by establishing and celebrating our need for community! Registration required.

Poetry therapy has been recognized as beneficial to people who seek healing and growth. These workshops will be facilitated by Christine Ellsworth, an author and a member of the National Association for Poetry Therapy and the International Federation of Biblio-Poetry Therapy.
