When Someone Deeply Listens to You
How do you feel When Someone Deeply Listens to You?
Courageous, empowered, loved? Fall in love with our adorable children as they explore, through vibrant language and imagery, what this means to them.
When Someone Deeply Listens to You is the culmination of Marcie’s certification in poetic medicine. Marcie carries her skill and enthusiastic style into poetry circles she designs, to meet the needs of numerous populations. These include children, educators, diversely abled adults, parents, and seniors.
Parenting with Awareness evolved from Marcie’s experiences in teaching hundreds of parents and children in the Marcie and Me parent child program she created. The book offers a unique parenting philosophy that honors the integrity of childhood, with the goal to create children who are self-empowered, self-disciplined, and self-motivated.
Because children learn through experimentation, both books contain creative hand on activities and guided conversations to teach their vital message.
What is poetic medicine?
Poetic medicine is using poetry to connect individuals, who may feel alone in their life experience. It’s using poetry to identify and express deep held emotions. Writing poetry provides a space for one’s voice to be heard, to release feelings out from the body and onto the page, providing an opportunity for cathartic healing. Marcie, certified in poetic medicine, carries her skill and enthusiastic style to poetry circles designed to meet the needs of numerous populations to include children, diversely abled adults, new moms, and seniors.
