“Poetry and The Art of Expression”

“Poetry; The Art of Expression” The therapeutic benefits of performance poetry. Shekhina knows all too well how poetry was an outlet for her. This workshop using Poetry in its written and expressive form empowers individuals by helping them find their voice. The writer embodies the visualization of the work, and it becomes a catalyst and companion of transformation. The practice of these art forms becomes a leveling ground as the artist engages other wordsmiths, readers, and performers. An entry for social inclusion, collaboration, interaction, and engagement is provided. Both internal and external conflicts are resolved, and the healing acceptance of self materializes.
