How Can We Write Poetry At A Time Like This?

In moments of urgency, our instinct is to speed up. But what if the most radical thing we can do is slow down?

The “...At a Time Like This?” Community Workshop Series brought to you by Wayfinding Partners is a space for nonprofit and philanthropic leaders—and all who are working to resist oppression—to slow down, reconnect, and imagine freer, more just futures.

Led by our creative and thoughtful team of consultants and facilitators, each session in this series centers ideas and practices that nourish the spirit and expand our capacity to lead with intention. Through conversations and creative expression, we'll unlock approaches to leadership, fundraising, organizational development, and more while learning how to show up for one another in radically life-giving ways.

Whether you join us for one or all of the sessions, you’ll gain new tools, inspiration, and community to help you move from reactivity to renewal.

Let’s imagine and build something better—together!

First up: How Can We Write Poetry At a Time Like This?

Poetry as creative rest and radical reflection.

Designed and delivered by & imagine — a proudly incubated project of Wayfinding Partners — this workshop is for anyone feeling burnt out, uninspired, or defeated. Poetry is particularly vital at times like these: together, we will access creative writing as a vehicle for unlocking imaginative potential, and practicing vital, creative rest.

Participants require no previous writing experience. Each participant will leave the workshop having written their own poem and connected with new colleagues and allies through the power of creative writing.
