COME TO OUR RETREAT

Connect with your Power Through Improv Poetry & Music
Unleash Your Voice ◈ Step Into Your Potential
We gather here as poets
With words that lift us high
To find the divine within ourselves
And let our spirits fly
Our poetry is our prayer
A way to connect and seek
To open up our hearts and souls
And let our true selves speak
We use our words to empower
To give voice to the unheard
To bring light to the darkness
And spread hope with every word
Each line a thread that weaves a web
Of love and understanding
A place where all are welcome
And every voice is commanding
So let us sing our prayers tonight
And let our spirits soar
For in this sacred space we’ve found
We’ll find the divine once more
And as we leave this poetry meet
May we carry with us the light
To spread love and hope throughout the world
And make everything just right
The Poetry as Prayer project is dedicated to aiding individuals in embracing the power of their voice and being able to channel their creative muse.
◈
We accomplish this through a combination of ceremonies, retreats, coaching, courses, events and sharing the gift of spontaneous spoken word poetry.
◈
We have found that the creative spirit speaks to us when we make space to listen deeply and consistently engage in communal practices of prayer and mystical, musical expression.
◈
Join us at one of our upcoming retreats to step into your possibility, purpose, and power. Together, let’s co-create a more loving and magical world for all.

11:30am – 12:30pm | Room 404
Come discover how creative flow states accessed through rhythm and language can be a potent tool to unlock creativity and inspiration.
We will engage our voices and ignite creativity through freestyle rap exercises designed to invite us to play with intuition and language. In this state we unite our left and right hemispheres, release our critical overthinking, and allow for the union of heart, mind, and spirit. Through unlocking the sacred expression and flow of our voices, we discover a deeper intimacy with the creative.

Testimonial from Paul Stamets
Testimonial from Divina
Mark has opened up a sacred means of developing the human spirit. What is left for us after meeting our basic needs? Unlocking our capacity to give and serve; the development of our highest potential. This free verse, poetry, freestyle rap… It creates presence, love, and a connection to source unlike anything else. Even if it’s not something you’d ever see yourself doing, whether you are musically talented or not (like myself), the journey has been deeply—and wildly—rewarding.
