Poetry and the Page: Writing as a Healing Path

We are going to write. We are going to gather and fill our notebooks with prose, poetry, and possibility. 

The moment we dare to show up on a blank page, we begin to transform our pain and fear. We reclaim energy when we write our truths. The page is a great reflection of our inner lives and offers the possibility of the new. In our days together, Heidi will share poetry and prose and offer prompts for inspiration and exploration.

We will definitely explore the beauty of poetry, but we will write in all manner of forms. Do not feel that you need to write poetry this week. Write anything and everything. You will have space and time and plenty of inspiration to put your heart on the page.

Now and then, we will also share our work with one another. When we read our work out loud, we catalyze the changes we are exploring in our lives. When we name something about ourselves or our world and sound it forth, we begin to set it free or make it manifest!

Heidi’s writing has spanned decades. Her love of poetry infuses all that she writes. Esalen itself is a nature poem, and to write in a landscape that is poetic is truly a gift.

Join Heidi for a weeklong of nourishing, deep-diving days.
