To open and celebrate World Poetry Month 2023 ( August 1 6 - 8 pm ) this is Poetry therapy that takes your Eco-anxiety grief rage and sadness seriously In the last few years, climate change events have impacted us all, or someone we know. The Australian Psychological Association says that Climate Change is the biggest threat to health, in the 21st century. It’s the number one anxiety, reported in young people. A poet I know, says everyone he knows is punchdrunk on the madness of our times. (Tom Hirons) The poets, are often there first. Freud found this to the be the case. Ecoanxiety is an emerging anxiety – this is new territory. When we are in uncharted places, we need maps. Poems can be read as maps, to the emotional terrain of the heart. Map-poems can save your life – the life of the spirit and soul, in such times Together we will explore some poems that address various aspects of Climate Anxiety and will be guided in writing some responses in prose and /or poetry and other creative ways of locating our own unique voice. This will be held in a safe space online, which can be a place where insight and deep emotion can be touched, expressed, and witnessed. As poet Joy Harjo who we will explore, says, ...until I stagger to the earth with grief, i will locate the point of dawning." We will also inquire into how poetry therapy works, a little each week. And don't worry if you did not enjoy poetry at school. Times have changed, this is poetry to save your life. If you have any questions please book a discovery call with Kerryn. Read more

If you have ever known the power of nature to soothe your nerves, balance your perspective in challenging times, or simply feel renewed by a walk in a rainforest or by the ocean - then you know ecotherapy! While the healing offered by nature is not new, it is being harnessed in new ways and settings which Kerryn would love to share with you. Kerryn can tailor these sessions to meet your groups needs. These sessions can be held in the Sydney area, Central Coast, Blue Mountains and Wollongong and Sunshine Coast regions. Additional charges may apply to cover travel costs. Read more
