One Spirit
Online, Recorded
$175/4 weeks
Every experience in life is worthy of our careful attention—even the most painful, broken times—and poetry provides a way to meet each experience with a willingness to witness the ever-unfolding story of our own lives and the story of our world. Though a poem can’t fix things, can’t heal us, can’t change the facts, reading and writing poems can change the way we meet the facts, and this can change everything. Together we’ll read poems, converse about them, use them as launching points for our own writing and talk about process. We’ll explore playing with metaphors and paradox, letting curiosity lead us past the edge of what we think we know into new possibilities for framing a moment. Wonder will be our guide. We’ll be less interested in writing something perfect and more interested in discovering our own stumbling blocks and epiphanies. Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer helps weave a safe environment for exploring how to bring wonder and self-compassion into a creative practice. More a playshop than a workshop—more soulwork than craft, though we will talk about how craft can serve our creative process, too. All levels of poetry-writing experience welcome.
Attendees will have a chance to:
- Explore creative writing to express your inner experience.
- Play with metaphors to create new frames for seeing the world.
- Hold our stories more loosely, with less judgment, more curiosity.
- Use writing as a tool for meeting difficult feelings.
- Share your experience (if desired) in a supportive community.

NOTE FROM ONE SPIRIT: There is a note on the registration page and under each ticket that says to only purchase one ticket, any ticket, for any day, for $175. Unfortunately our system is limited when it comes to multi week events. It does not allow for me to put all of the dates without having “tickets” available for all of the dates. If you purchase 1 ticket for any week, you get the rest of the weeks as well. All 4 weeks = $175. Only purchase 1 ticket. Not to worry!
Thank you for offering this, Rosemerry! I’m very much looking forward to it.
Oh hooray! I am so glad you’ll join us!!
