Worth The Detour

Kalamazoo Poetry Festival

Reflect, write, and share personal stories of growth and transformation through the hidden blessings in unmet desires.

First Congregational Church

“Hindsight is 20/20 and it’s easy to get caught up in the things we think we want/ desire or deserve. “ Attendees will discuss/ write about a time or an event where they did not get what they wanted, but it actually worked in their favor… either to have not received it at all or just received it later. (Ex. First time experiencing love, even though it was toxic, you still wanted it, only to later realize it was never really love). The facilitator will instruct the attendees in how they have turned a situation like this into something constructive through writing. The attendees will have time to write, and will have an opportunity to read their work to the group at the end of the workshop.Note:This is an in-person workshop. Writing utensils and paper will be provided. Water and Coffee will also be available at the event. Please arrive several minutes early, so the workshop can start promptly on time.Accessibility:– This even strives to be SCENT-FREE. Please consider leaving perfumes and fragrances at home.
