Essential Vulnerability: A Poetry Thoughtshop Celebrating our Humanness
“Nothing in Nature ‘becomes itself’ without being vulnerable. The mightiest tree’s growth requires soft and supple shoots, just as the hardest-shelled crustacean must first molt and become soft.” —Gabor Maté in “The Myth of Normal.”
Our emotional vulnerability allows us to grow, to connect, to change. And it can be terrifying. In this one-hour webinar-style thoughtshop, join poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer as she reads and talks about poems that honor and explore softness, insecurity and openness. She will then offer invitations for you to do your own writing later. There will be time for questions and responses. After the event, all who register will receive a link to the recording, links to the poems she reads, plus the writing invitations.
