SUMMARY:The Big Reframe: Poetry as a Tool for Re-Seeing the World
DESCRIPTION:Your perspective matters. How you see the world—the way you meet even the smallest moment—affects everyone and everything in the world around you. The stories you tell yourself and others create the big conversation—what are we doing here? What does it mean to be alive? Practically speaking, how do we change our perspective? How might our stories limit us? How do we re-see what we’ve seen again and again? The poets have something to teach us about perspective—how to find meaning in the moment; how to unlearn what we think we know; how to be infinitely curious; and how to enter into deeper conversations with ourselves, each other, the moment, and the world. \nWhen we meet the moment with a pen in our hands, we change our relationship to the world. We become narrators of our own lives—able to meet the story of the moment in fresh ways. In this four-week playshop (way more fun than a workshop!), we will read and discuss poems that help us re-see the world, and we’ll write and (if you wish) share our own poems, engaging in the powerful practice of showing up, leaning in to the realm of pure potential, and joining our small voices in the big conversation. What will happen when you show up?\nThrough reading, writing, and conversing about poems, you will:\nExplore new ways to see our old stories.\nDiscover how every single object in the world has something to teach us.\nPractice not knowing and letting the poem know more than we do.\nEmbrace paradox and let it open us.\nEngage the imagination and find ways to write into the world we most want to inhabit.\nPlay with language and ideas in a safe, nourishing, creative space.\nEveryone is welcome. No previous writing experience necessary.\nYou can purchase your spot here.\nRosemerry says, “I create safe, nourishing, welcoming places for people to explore their own creative practice. I encourage vulnerability, authenticity, deep listening, personal inquiry, play, self-compassion, and generosity of spirit. I believe that poems themselves don’t change the world, but when we write poems, we have the chance to change the way we see the world, and THAT changes everything. When we transform who we are, we transform the world.” \n
