An invitation from the Institute for Poetic Medicine

Join Our Healing Poetic Medicine Community! Stand still. The trees ahead and the bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or bush does is lost to you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you. ~David Wagoner Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem Making (pg. 192) by John Fox * * * * * A Year of Poetic Medicine is a year long opportunity to be supported in your exploration and practice of poetry and creative writing as a way to access the deep source of inner wisdom and love that is your truth. It is a way to bring forth your generative voice and to do this in the company of other like-hearted people.
