Description

The Poetry of YOU

is right for you if

  • you would like to know yourself better

  • you would like to be the poet of your own life

  • you are interested in Celtic Wisdom

  • you would like to create poems easily and naturally with expert guidance

  • you would value the chance to study and create one-on-one with Kate

If we think of your life as a unique poem that you are writing every day – through your choices, your language, and your thoughts – then that makes YOU a poet.

That means that you have enormous creative power to shape the poem of your life.

The ability to write your poem as you wish to read it – to experience it and to live it – is amazing and limitless.

In our time together, that’s just what we’ll do.

Our poem-making and explorations will travel through four themes and focusing questions:

Desire

What vision brings you to life?

Identity

Who are you in your heart of hearts?

Challenge

How does the world speak to you?

Adventure

What quest is calling you forth?

What You’ll Gain and Achieve

  • You will become a Poet – easily, naturally, and with delight and enjoyment
  • You will be inspired by Celtic lore, wisdom, and tradition
  • You will encounter the Self who writes the Poem of your life – and you will learn how to edit and shape that poem to reflect your highest vision for your life and self
  • You will create a chapbook of beautiful poems
  • Inspiring sources drawn from Celtic lore, story, and poetry
  • You will know yourself better AND like yourself much better

What’s Included

  • Four 45-minute sessions of poem-making and conversation
  • Inspiring sources drawn from Celtic lore, story, and poetry
  • An invitation to engage in a one-on-one correspondence with Kate centered around a weekly powerful question
  • You’ll receive a pdf chapbook of your poems at the end of our time together

Tradition is meant to be a vital, inspiring, and useful part of our lives – not something tucked away in a dusty old book.

I approach the study and teaching of Celtic wisdom from two angles:  as a scholar with a PhD in Celtic Studies from Harvard University and as a poet, singer, and storyteller who weaves authentic tradition into performances at libraries, schools, and cultural centers.

I am committed to creating powerful learning experiences for my students to help them integrate intellectual learning with emotional, social, and spiritual growth.

My belief is that Celtic wisdom is here to help us grow and to create lives of joy, connection, and blessing.

FAQ

Do I need to consider myself a poet or have previous experience writing poetry?

No on both counts. Anyone with a sincere desire to look within, to explore his or her artistry, and to create a record of discoveries in the form of poem is well-equipped to get the very most out of our time together.

Do I need to know a Celtic language or to be of Celtic descent to take part?

Not at all! While you will certainly learn giota beag Gaeilge – a little bit of Irish – no previous experience of Irish (or Welsh, for that matter) is necessary. People of all backgrounds, races, and identities are warmly welcome to register.

How and when will our meetings take place?

Once you register, I’ll get in touch to schedule all four of our meetings. We’ll meet on Zoom, and that’s exciting because you can join me from anywhere in the world!

Can I record our sessions?

Yes, you are very welcome to record our sessions. If you’d like to do this, just let me know and I’ll make you a co-host and explain how to do it. (This way, you’ll have the recordings on your own device).

Any other policies I should know?

I’m sorry that I don’t offer refunds. Before you purchase, if you’d like to get a better sense of my teaching style, you might enjoy sampling some of the videos on my YouTube channel or browsing my blog. You can also take a look at all of my free offerings and books on the Free Teaching & Gifts page.

As for schedule – once we have together decided on the dates and times of our four meetings, we hold to them. I no longer offer makeup classes or sessions.

In a nutshell

  • Four 45-minute sessions of delicious poem-making and conversation
  • An invitation to correspond with Kate
  • Sources to inspire you drawn from Celtic lore and tradition
  • A pdf chapbook of your poems at the conclusion of our time together
