What We Do

Arts as Medicine

Poetry E.Motion (POEM)

Poetry E.motion (POEM) was created by a passionate team of Health and Well-being Professionals, Counsellors, Artists, Healers, Educators and other Community Leaders who recognise the healing power of words, digital arts and movement. As a result, these workshops promote personal growth and healing through spoken and written word, digital arts, arts and movement.

 

These sessions are designed to create feeling places that connect people via emotion rather than experience, producing amazing results with their healing, as both participant or observer. 

 

POEM is not a workshop itself, it is the method by which all our workshops are delivered and are designed to work in a similar way to “Pick n Mix” sweets, but this is for workshops.

Poetry E.motion (POEM) is a build your own series of workshops, delivered in 3 ways:-

  1. One-off sessions,
