Poetry Course (Live, Online, Small Group)

Poetry reflects the voice of the heart and soul. It can be healing and transformative. Writing poems helps one deal with the inner turmoil while providing comfort in words. Poems encourage interconnectedness in the universe. 

Each poem has a distinct rhythm that inspires poets to dream, imagine, observe and think. At a time when a global pandemic has created chaos all around, poetry can be the quietude our souls are looking for.

Meld words to create magic. An award-winning poet leads you through the wonderland of poetry. Understand & appreciate poetry. Then write your own poem(s) under her guidance.

Rochelle Potkar leads this poetry course. Rochelle’s profile and the programs details are shared below.
