Writing Ourselves In
with Viki Leavitt, Ph.D.
Moving from our usual world into the atmosphere of NAPT's annual conference is like stepping into a wonderland, full of fresh breezes, like-minded friends, and the luxury of playing with words. How do we make the most of our time at the conference? Together we can explore and acknowledge our expectations and hopes for the experience of the coming weekend. We will write in circle, center ourselves, and cross the bridge from our busy and sometimes fractured daily schedules into the arms of poetry therapy and its adventures.
