About the Program
Mindful Poetry Moments, incubated by The On Being Project, offers a chance to pause and reflect on poetry’s ability to encounter ourselves, the world, and the mystery of each other. This poetry workshop invites students to interact and engage deeply with poetry, strengthening both social emotional growth and literacy and creative writing skills. During a special classroom session, students will explore a curated poem, discuss its themes, and create their own reflective pieces.
For workshops taking place during National Poetry Month in April, selected poems will be published in The Well’s annual poetry book, celebrating student voices and creativity.
- Duration: 1-hour sessions
- Audience: K-12 students
Check out a poem written by a student:
"High in the tree canopy,
I yell:
Dare me to jump?
Hanging on by hands and feet, I wait
for the answer. Can you believe
they say yes?
I breathe in, then out
and spring into the air.
I strike the ground
like a lightning bolt."
