We had a very rich evening with Jorge Burmeister last Sunday. One of the many activities we experienced saw us gather into several small groups and work together finally creating a poem of our experience. Here they are:
Poem 1:
Mountains, forces of earth
Deep in the center, far beneath, a baby
At peace, a pause, gathering for the next
My space, a woman's new space, creating
Going no further, more to go.
Poem 2:
Beautiful dirge
Softly tattooed
Joyous grief
In Beauty alive
Beauty passing
Crimson shroud worms
Him to his velvety abode
Life force seeps
Leaving only grey
Her cousin weeps
Scattering the petalled love
Of her garden bed
Everything returns to earth.
Poem 3.
I am here
In the beautiful fragility
This is life
I am here
With my loved ones
Past and present
This is life
I am here
With the fondness
Of memories
This is life
I am here
With the spirit of people
Who are ever presence
This is life
I am here
With the tapestry
Of richness and warmth
Sewn with threads of beauty
And losses and pain
This is life
Life is everything
And everywhere
Petal of the Cherry Blossom
This is life.
Poem 4.
Whale shark
Awesome power
Sweet water
Waiting its time
In the moment
Time gauges
Both sides
Watching my child
The moment
Surely deep water
In the moment
Love came
So truly
But loss can part
The moment
Time heals
Time heralds
Time swirls
It is always
My time.
Poem 5.
We are rooted in the earth
Feeling our strength
Nourishing our spirit
Greenness growing into our being.

The IAGP's next international
conference will be held in Colombia and will offer a unique possibility to
get in touch with the most recent developments in group psychotherapy and
group processes. It will focus especially on the topic of social
transformation, putting emphasis on the vision of J.L. Moreno, S. Foulkes
and K. Levin, to apply our competences also on the scale of social or
collective groups. We invite all of you: researchers, educators,
psychotherapists, students and other professionals from around the world
and across borders to come together, to learn from each other and to
hopefully grow in our professional and human dimensions. For further details, see http://www.iagpcongress.org. (This link to an external site run by the local organisers will open in a new window.) 3. President of IAGP Jorge Burmeister will visit Melbourne August - September 2012. Jorge Burmeister and his wife, Natacha Navarro from Spain will be visiting Melbourne in a couple of months. More news on the blog soon. Tel: PIM Office 94163779 after 24 July 2012. |
