Poetic Medicine: To Awaken Soulfulness in the Human Voice

You are invited to dip into a safe and creative circle in which we'll explore themes vital to meaning making in our lives. Over the course of three sessions you'll experience the impact of the poem-making process as a roadmap to enhance and foster insights and wellness.

Poetry and poem-making are compelling and effective tools in the journey toward wholeness. It's a language below the surface to view the world through a broader lens. Poetic Medicine is based on 20 years of groundbreaking work, from The Institute for Poetic Medicine and Poetry as a Tool for Wellness, integrating poetry and poem-making into mental health and wellness programs.

Sessions will include reflections on quotes/poems, writing prompts, and time to write and share what is speaking to you.

Spiritual Direction

It takes a bit of courage to reach out about spiritual direction because our journeys are personal and full of uncertainty. Members of the Benedictine Center's spiritual direction team respect that just as much as we trust that the Holy Spirit is at work. Sometimes the most helpful next step is to have a personal conversation about your unique questions.AFF

Call 651.777.7251 and speak privately about your situation.

Email the Benedictine Center to consider whether meeting one-on-one or in a group might be a good fit for you.

Request a free initial consultation, scheduled at your convenience.

From there the staff will prayerfully consider which person or group might be a good support to you. If you like, we'll then have someone be in touch with you to set up a free initial consultation. That will be a time to explore your questions about and discuss expectations for the process. You might choose to continue meeting with this person, take some time to keep reflecting on the possibility, or get a recommendation about someone else who might help you deepen your relationship with God.
