Poetry and Grief in Times of Genocide

A Community Gathering with Jess Semaan

“Let your grief for Gaza be the permanent ink of a soul that has not turned away—that will not turn away, ever again.” – Jess Semaan

Join us as we sit with Jess Semaan, poet, psychotherapist and facilitator to explore the intersection of poetry and grief in the context of genocide. Drawing from her research on genocide, as well as her personal and professional experiences, Jess will tend to our psycho-spiritual profound sorrow and loss in this time.

By giving voice to the unspeakable and providing a means of bearing witness to the stories of those impacted by the trauma of large-scale atrocities, we are making space for individual and collective healing.

Poetry helps us navigate the complex terrain of grief, injustice, and human suffering. Come and honor the resilience of communities that have endured such immense trauma.
