The National Association for Poetry Therapy Presents

Write Into Your Most Aligned You in 2026!

facilitated by Jennifer Zarin-Nickman, LCAT, RDT, CPC

Workshop Description:

How do you want to show up in 2026? What’s most important?

The possibilities of a New Year can be so many things- inspiring,

motivating, intimidating, energizing and more. In this workshop,

you’ll explore what’s most alive for you, from a place of mindful

journaling, tuning into your body, mind and spirit, with expressive

writing, poetry and the breath as your guides. Go beyond resolutions that might fizzle within a few days, weeks or months, to creating intentions aligned with your authentic self that encapsulate motivation and inspiration. Learn what holds the seeds of transformation for you, and create action steps for the year ahead!

Sharing is encouraged, not required. No previous experience

necessary. Bring an open mind and your favorite writing tools.
