“…Poetry has redemptive power for me, as it does for millions of people. Poems have provided life jackets to keep me from drowning, ballast to keep me from ascending to altitudes where there’s not enough oxygen to support life, and maps to keep me from getting lost in the wilderness….”
Parker J Palmer
We will stock up the shelves of our Poetry Apothecary with poems that comfort and heal. Come and join us to help weigh, measure and distill poems for their healing properties so we can store each one in our apothecary. Bring poems that have helped you, that perhaps have companioned you through the ups and downs of life, through loneliness, loss, overwhelm, wonder, the healing power of nature, despondency, fragility, forgiveness, and inspiration. We will mine the storehouse of poetic literature and we will also look at poems which you may have written yourself as a way of finding resolve.
To join this circle online, contact your host for the zoom link.
Hosted by Judith Adams, Peter Martin & Gary Vallat.

Our circle is a nurturing, supportive place where anyone impacted by chronic pain can explore and engage in their own healing. We’ll share our stories and strategies for minimizing pain, alleviating suffering, and appreciating ourselves as whole people.
Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity, and honoring our own unique paths to healing as well as respecting each other.
