About the Event
The Peace and Conciliation Project Black Healing Space committee invites you to join us in our first Guided Poetry Hour. During this event, we will focus on appreciation of ourselves through our imaginations made manifest by our pens guided by our hearts. Never written a poem? Don’t you fret. We are here to guide you through the writings with interactive prompts that bring your essence into view.
If this event speaks to you, grab your pen, paper and favorite drinks/snacks and come have a therapeutic experience with us. There is no cost to join and so much to gain!
**As with all Peace and Conciliation Project Black Healing Space events, this event is intended for Black Americans. Those White or other POC who wish to support this work can do so by respecting the exclusiveness of this space and may consider becoming a Sustaining Peacemaker.

“What words
have smashed against
these walls,
crashed up and dawn these
halls,
lain mute and then drained
their meanings out and into,
these floors?
What feelings, long since
dead,
streamed vague yearnings
below this ceiling
light?
In some dimension
which I cannot know,
the shadows of
another still exist. I bring my
memories, held too long in check,
to let them here shoulder
space and place to be.
And when I leave to
find another house,
I wonder, what among
these shades will be
left of me.”
-Maya Angelou
