Poetry transforms hidden scars into unstoppable motivation, and distant dreams into peak-climbing strategies”
Charmaine Pollard proves your pen is a powerful survival tool. As a pioneering UK Certified Poetry Therapist and author of Writing for Resilience, she merges therapeutic writing with dynamic coaching—equipping clients to conquer their fears and spark profound personal growth.
According to America poet, Robert Frost ‘A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.’
Writing is a powerful tool in coaching. We know that putting our goals and plans on the page, in a clear and actionable way, can actively help us to achieve our dreams and aspirations.
When we take a creative approach, we can gain even more from the process. A line of poetry can allow us to go deeper as we strive to achieve great results. Through its imagery and symbols, a poem can circumvent the conscious mind and offer access to the world of the unconscious. There, we are encouraged to explore our rich, inner experience, and to uncover values, motivations, thought patterns and resources that were previously hidden. These, in turn, can help us to reconnect to our inner wisdom and intuition, refine goals, overcome obstacles and stay motivated.
In this interactive workshop, you will be guided through the process of responding to a carefully selected poem, various journaling prompts in order to spark conversation and uncover actionable insights.
No prior knowledge of poetry, journalling or expressive writing is required; you simply need to be willing to share, reflect and experiment with words in a supportive environment.
