The Clearing Poetic Medicine Circle is a place to pause. To listen. To find words for what has been difficult to name. To encounter yourself in the company of others.

Over twelve Thursday evenings, we will walk through a carefully held seasonal journey.

We begin with arrival.

We move into the darker ground: grief, loss, what has been left unspoken, and the parts of ourselves we sometimes keep from the light.

Then we turn.

Towards mercy. Towards hope. Towards homecoming.

And finally, towards joy – arriving there as the year itself begins to turn back towards the light.

The journey is not about forcing ourselves towards a particular outcome. It is about making space for whatever is present, and allowing poetry to become a companion along the way.
