ABOUT

OneLovePoetics was developed to provide educational consulting, restorative poetry, writing, social justice, art, and improv workshops, as well as ghost writing and healing goods to both bring out the best in self and build community in a variety of settings from schools to clubs in the Milwaukee area.

 

OneLovePoetics hopes to build bridges across the vast array of cultures too often at odds while reaffirming the gifts and goodness we all posses so we can walk in our values and transform justice.

The practices and wisdom used are passed on from indigenous roots that honor the collective and individual voice while capturing the needs of modern society and highlighting the joys that empower our positive change together.
