Mindful Poetry Moments

Mindful Poetry Moments is truly for all ages. Anyone can access our free mindfulness content and worksheets, which is also automatically available to any school with a Mindful Music Moments account. Our virtual Mindful Poetry Moments Gatherings throughout the year are also open to all ages.

With the exception of Gatherings in April where poems are selected specifically for all ages, some of the poetry content in our Fall/Winter gatherings presented and/or created and shared by participants can be very personal to their lived experiences, and may not always be suitable for younger audiences.

Yes! Participation in our virtual Gatherings, access to mindfulness content & worksheets, and submissions for our annual publication are completely FREE.

To help sustain the program, we do charge $12 to purchase one of our Mindful Poetry Moments Books, with discounts available for poets and bulk orders.

If you are a school with a Mindful Music Moments account, all Mindful Poetry Moments content will be available in your portal weekly during April. No further sign up necessary.

If you are an individual or a school without a Mindful Music Moments account, you can still access the Mindful Poetry Moments content for FREE by filling out the sign-up form here. You should receive a confirmation email with login credentials after filling out the form.

If you have any trouble accessing the portal or you don't receive the emails you're supposed to, please reach out via email to bryce@thewell.world for assistance.

Poems that are most likely to be accepted for publication are:

• Written during April/National Poetry Month of the current year.
• Written in response to one of the curated poems and prompts from either a Mindful Poetry Gathering or the Mindful Poetry Workbook of the current year.

All of our virtual Gatherings and poetry workshops are hosted online via Zoom at 3 pm EST. You can join a Zoom meeting without creating an account. To join via Zoom, click here.

Our annual book launch is a hybrid event, meaning you can attend in person in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) or stream it live from anywhere in the world. Check the book launch event page for specific instructions on how to stream. For technical assistance, please contact Bryce at The Well,

Yes. All of our Mindful Poetry Virtual Gatherings are recorded and posted on our YouTube Channel.

Recordings are posted by the next morning after each Gathering.

If you are participating during a Gathering and would prefer yourself not to appear in the recording, you may keep your camera off and/or decline to share during the Gathering. Or if you share something during the Gathering and would like us to edit it out of the recording, please make a specific request in advance to bryce@thewell.world.
