Poetry as Protest, Poetry as Prayer: A Writing & Healing Workshop for Black

A healing writing workshop for Black women exploring poetry as protest, prayer, liberation, and collective affirmation.

This 60‑minute workshop invites Black women into a sacred space where poetry becomes both protest and prayer — a place to name loss, honour rage, and write toward healing and liberation.

We begin with grounding breathwork and two poems: one that speaks to protest and ancestral grief, and another that calls in hope, connection, and spiritual grounding. Through guided writing prompts, you’ll explore your emotional truth without censorship, moving from what hurts to what heals.

The session closes with a collective spoken blessing — a chorus of single lines from each participant’s “prayer” poem, rising together in unity and strength.

You’ll experience:

  • A safe, affirming space to express grief, anger, hope, and joy

  • Writing prompts that honour both personal and ancestral stories

  • Poetry as a tool for spiritual activism and emotional release

  • Optional sharing and a powerful closing ritual

  • A collective moment of Black women’s voices rising together

This workshop is for Black women seeking a space to write, release, and reconnect with themselves and each other.
