Poetic Skills for Grounding and Growth
Join award-winning poet, author, and somatic healer Kai Cheng Thom, MSc, in collaboration with Guelph Spoken Word, for a deep dive into the healing power of poetry. Long before the publishing industry and the poetry slam, word-workers have used the spoken word to access transformation and resilience. The role of poet and artist was intertwined with that of healer and spirit-worker. It's time to take that power back. In this trauma-informed workshop series, participants will learn how to bring body, soul, and spoken word together for personal growth, collective healing, and community building.
Also featuring guest facilitators Kama La Mackerel and Charlie Petch!

Guelph Spoken Word operates on the traditional territory of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabek, and Haudenosaunee peoples, and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge the Two Row Wampum and Dish With One Spoon Covenant, and are responsible for upholding the agreements our ancestors made here. Indigenous peoples are integral to the story of this land. It is up to each of us to repair the damage done by settlers and the state of Canada, and build relationships based on reciprocity, respect and reconciliation.
