What We Carry | The Therapeutic Poetry Sessions

Overview

A sanctuary — for feelers, thinkers, healers. Come as you are, leave lighter. Expect vulnerability, poetry, conversation that stays.


November Theme: "What We Carry"
Some things we carry quietly: the weight of the week, old stories, things we haven't said out loud. What We Carry is an evening to set a little of that down.


The Therapeutic Poetry Sessions are more than an open mic. Each night is built around a theme. We open with a welcome and a story from your host, then move through guided discussion and creative expression. You can share a poem, write something of your own, or just listen. There's no pressure to perform, and every way of being in the room is welcome.


Important information about TTPS podcast culture:
This space is centered on mental health and wellness — approached holistically, because healing isn’t one-dimensional. We hold space for mind, heart, and spirit through poetry, a variety of art, honest conversation, and community.

We won’t pretend the weight of the world doesn’t follow us into the room. This isn’t a political platform — it’s a place to exhale, not debate.

A diverse space for all kinds of people, built around shared themes. Leave your biases and judgments at the door. The goal: an authentic, safe community where people can actually be seen.


Proceeds goes directly toward growing The Therapeutic Poetry Sessions: more nights like this one, more guest speakers and artists in more spaces, for more people who need this kind of room to exist.
