Shamanic Poetry: Drinking from a Deeper Well

Fall is upon us, and especially here in the U.S. November looks set to be a month of darker days, both literal and figurative. As Toni Morrison famously put it in her essay reflecting on her temporary artistic paralysis and depression in the wake of George W. Bush’s re-election in 2004: “This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

Join Emma Campbell-Webster and Schuyler Brown for a deep dive into the healing power of poetry. In this intimate virtual workshop we will dedicate four weeks to a traditional journey of initiation, first asking ourselves, “What in me needs healing now?” then letting poetry show us the way, knowing that what is personal is also collective.

Each week you…
