Too much of our political discourse and the media that we take in has co-opted language to divide us, celebrate consumption and reduce what it means to be human. Given this reality, how can we thrive in arguably the most important role we will ever have? If you are feeling the drain of burnout or the surfacing of despair in your parenting…you are not alone…AND every culture and epoch of human existence has had poetry to elevate language back to its sacred place as a guide and inspiration for our lives. Join me for a poetic journey on the path to burning bright in our parenting. Gift yourself two 1 hour sessions (live or recorded) where you will be invited into a true form of respite and renewal. Hear poems and stories inspired by my own journey as a pediatrician and parent as well as the recitation of pieces by celebrated poets…Mary Oliver, Langston Hughes, Audre Lorde, WB Yeats, John O’Donohue, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Kahlil Gibran and more…
