16 Nov 2025 | Poetry in Therapy, Counselling & Coaching | Afternoon Workshop | In-Person
This workshop invites you to rediscover poetry as a living companion in the work of therapy, counselling and coaching. Together we will explore how poems – those we love, those we write, and those that find us – can illuminate the landscapes of our inner lives.
Participants are encouraged to bring a poem that has personal meaning. We will experiment with new ways of embodying poetry: speaking it, feeling it, and allowing it to speak through us. Poetry here becomes not performance but presence – a way of listening deeply to ourselves and others.
Facilitators: Dr Brian Kaplan & Dr Patrick Curry
Dr Brian Kaplan
A medical doctor and psychotherapist, Brian brings creativity and humour into his work through painting, poetry, and performance. He helps people use artistic expression to uncover insight, laughter, and authentic self-understanding.
Dr Patrick Curry
Author of Art and Enchantment: How Wonder Works, Patrick writes and teaches on imagination, story, and the re-enchantment of everyday experience. His work celebrates how poetry restores our sense of wonder, depth, and belonging in the world.
