Partners in Rhyme offers a range of workshops each carefully designed to help your group discover the power and joy of poetry. Not sure what you need? We can tailor any workshop so it is relevant to your group – just send an email below to get started!
Senior Centers & Libraries
We use poetry to explore a variety of topics including mindfulness, gratitude, and change and transitions. We read and discuss poems and do some reflective writing in response.
“I don’t know of a better program for sparking camaraderie and creativity.”
Intergenerational groups
Teens and older adults meet to read poems on topics relevant to both age groups. The discussion focuses on individual and collective responses to the poem, rather than trying to extract the meaning of the poem. These groups are offered in schools or community centers.
“Unquantifiable magic: no grade but A.”
Memory Cafes
We use the power of poetry to express ourselves and connect with others. We read and discuss a number of seasonal poems and end by writing a group, 5-sense poem.
“These workshops make poetry fun and accessible. I never thought I’d say I like poetry, but I’m starting to.”
