Listening Poetry: an Interactive Writing Workshop with Julia McDonald

Brave sharing and deep listening creates connection in this increasingly divided world. When a custom poem is written for the storyteller, magic ensues. Grab your pen (or computer) and join Listener Poet Julia McDonald in an interactive evening workshop to practice intentional listening and custom poem-writing.

Physician poet Julia McDonald is the author of Hysteriography: Poems about Uteruses, Menstruation, Pregnancy, Abortion, Loss, and Childbirth , a collection of listening poems and origin stories birthed from intimate conversations using techniques developed by The Good Listening Project. Their work elevates lived uterus experiences with lyrical language and vivid imagery while spanning an emotional spectrum from heartbreak to grrrl power humor.

Please bring a pen/pencil and notebook, or laptop/tablet.
