Facilitator Training Series

Available in 2023: We offer a number of different opportunities to become a facilitator of poetic medicine circles in your community. These can help direct the focus of the poetry circle to more effectively offer these programs with a specific group (elders, abuse survivors, veterans, etc.) in your local area.

Each Facilitator Training Series brings the poetry-as-healer experience to the participants as well as the training to help each participant feel confident in leading poetry groups within specific groups in the local community. The sessions are led by facilitators with years of experience in successful groups related to their program areas. This personal experience with the specific focus allows for knowledge about potential interactions related to that particular group. The participants build confidence as they work together over the weeks, allowing for personal growth and exploration while training to take this work to groups in their communities. A variety of trainings are offered with poems related to each topic brought into the group for use in their own programs.

Programming for 2023 will be posted once the dates are finalized, please join our mailing list for information about these upcoming programs.
