Bring your curiosity, an open heart, and your journal. The poems we work with are accessible—no need to analyze or have any prior experience. Poetry and poem-making offer a powerful way of seeing below the surface, opening us to fresh perspectives and deeper connection.
Grounded in over 20 years of innovative work by John Fox and The Institute for Poetic Medicine, this practice integrates poetry into mental health and wellness in meaningful, life-giving ways.
October 25, 2026 (Sunday) 2:00-3:30pm in Maplewood, MN at St. Paul's Monastery, offered through the Benedictine Center.
