Poetry for Non-Poets: A Workshop with Heather Berndt

An Inland Northwest Poetry Salon Event

A poetry workshop for all levels of poets (and non-poets!), presented by educator Heather Berndt. This is part of the first annual Inland Northwest Poetry Salon.

This lighthearted workshop will explore how simple generative writing and the use of form poetry can help “non-poets” access their inner muse and nurture self-expression. Poetry forms will include French Pantoum and Cinquain.

This is one of eleven poetry events occurring at the first annual Inland Northwest Poetry Salon on June 1st.

This first-annual, day-long event at the Liberty Park Library (402 S. Pittsburg Street) will feature panels, poetry workshops and a bevy of local writers. The Inland NW Poetry Salon celebrates the craft of poetry, spotlights regional poets, and welcomes participants in all phases of their writing lives.

About the presenter: Heather Berndt is a trained spiritual director and expressive arts facilitator in Spokane. A student of many wisdom traditions and artistic mediums, Heather offers workshops exploring the holy trinity of creativity, spirituality, and transpersonal psychology. For seven years she co-led the creative cohort program at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, ID.
