Description
ECHOES OF OUR PARENTS - OPENER

Within us reside the silent whispers of those who came before - traits, habits, and patterns passed down through generations. Some we embrace, others we resist, yet all shape the very fabric of who we are. In exploring these echoes, we uncover the invisible threads binding us to our roots, revealing not just where we come from, but who we may become.

Echoes of Our Parents is not just about poetry - it’s about ANCESTRAL ECHOES TURNED INTO PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT.

Through raw, evocative poems and powerful reflection prompts, this course unearths the unspoken legacies passed down through generations - habits, beliefs, traumas, and patterns that live in our bodies and minds.

Echoes of Our Parents is a poetic journey into the stories we inherit, the wounds we carry, and the healing we choose.  It is a transformative muse into the ancestral imprints that shape our emotional and psychological landscapes.

Every child grows up with an unseen inheritance - the weight of words spoken and unspoken, the rhythms of love offered or withheld, the shadows of past generations echoing through our own lives.

This course offers a sacred space to listen to those echoes, not with fear, but with courage.

Who this course is for:
- ADULT CHILDREN PROCESSING INHERITED PATTERNS - Those who grew up in the shadow of their parents’ choices, words, and silences. They may carry wounds of neglect, unmet love, cultural expectations, or unspoken trauma. This course will help them name the pain through poetry, so they no longer feel voiceless or trapped in repetition.
- SEEKERS OF HEALING & SELF-DISCOVERY - Individuals drawn to personal growth, journaling, or therapy who want a creative path into self-reflection. The poems and questions will serve as bridges - helping them transform old stories of pain into new narratives of empowerment.
- CREATIVE WRITERS & POETS EXPLORING IDENTITY - Writers who long to explore the deep wells of family, ancestry, and inheritance. This course will not just teach them how to write, but will guide them into writing that is both raw and transformative, unearthing truths often left unsaid.
- COMMUNITY BUILDERS & FACILITATORS - Therapists, educators, or workshop leaders looking for soul-stirring material to use in group settings. The poems and reflection questions can open conversations about belonging, generational wounds, and collective healing.
- ECHOES OF OUR PARENTS is designed for ADULT SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHO ARE SEEKING TO HEAL THE EMOTIONAL IMPRINTS OF THEIR PARENTS. They may carry unspoken hurts, patterns of silence, or generational expectations - and are ready to break cycles, reclaim their voices, and write their way into healing. They are not necessarily “writers” or “poets” by label. Instead, they are ordinary people longing for a CREATIVE, SOULFUL PATHWAY to make peace with the echoes of their upbringing and turn pain into strength. If any of this describe you, then welcome – I’m excited to guide you on this journey into the stories we inherit, the wounds we carry, and the healing we choose.
