From Loss to Light: mindful lament poetry writing

What do epic poetry of the world, including ‘Beowulf,’ in Homer’s epic poems, the Jewish Tanakh, and the Hindu Vedas have in common?

These are all forms of lament writing.

Over the centuries, Lament writing has been a tool through which writers and poets could put their frustrations and views on paper and find light after loss. 

Learn the ancient art of lament writing, one of the oldest forms of song and writing known to history. Join this 2-hour interactive, creative and mindful workshop and employ all your senses to turn your feelings of loss, disappointment and unmet expectations into something positive. 

Although this session is interfaith, interactive, and promotes discussions regarding loss, world view and difference, tolerance of other world views is required.
