SUMMARY:Oh, Broken-Open Heart: A Mother’s Day Poetry Gathering for Mourners
DESCRIPTION:Join Reimagine and Evermore for an hour and a half of poetry, writing, conversation, and connection. Poets James Crews and Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer provide a virtual refuge for people who have lost a mother/mother figure or a child.\nYou can purchase tickets here. Sliding scale available.\nMother’s Day can be an especially difficult time for those of us who have lost a mother or child—whether the loss is through death or estrangement. Perhaps you feel isolated, angry, or frustrated. Perhaps you struggle with feeling down on a day heralded as a celebration. Perhaps you are just plain sad. You are not alone.\nJoin us for this intimate, whole-heart-affirming program, led by James Crews (who lost his mother) and Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer (who lost her son), which begins with the poets sharing poems and speaking openly about how writing has helped them meet grief. Then they will offer invitations for participants to do their own writing, followed by a conversation about what rises up when we turn toward our loss and write into our heartache.\nThis is a chance to both mourn and honor. A chance to integrate loss into our lives, weaving it into the larger tapestry of who we are and how we meet the world. It’s a chance to experience how writing can help us feel closer to the ones we have lost. It’s a chance to find nourishment through our connection with others who are also in grief.\nPlease note that by registering, you acknowledge that your email will be shared between Evermore and Reimagine to keep you informed about upcoming events, resources, and community initiatives.\n
