The Torrent and the Tear Drop
How poetry is used to encapsulate emotions (tear drops) that have more chance to be understood than
a torrent of words we might wish had never been spoken!
A successful (life long) published poet (Substance in Shadow) Treena encourages gatherings
of up to 30 people (both men and women and all adult ages) to encapsulate their emotions in a wide variety
of poetic forms. The next day the gathering reconvenes to read their “tear drops” before a supportive,
appreciative and compassionate group of fledgling fellow poets.
Appropriate for churches, universities and hospital settings where expressions of faith
areas accepted as part of a whole person (body, soul, mind and spirit) lifestyle.
Turning our Lives inside Out!
External lifestyle changes easily become short-lived legalisms if internal issues remain unattended. Treena teaches
women how to put their faith into action to defeat un-forgiveness, criticism, depression, rejection, lack of self-worth,
and an inability to listen with spiritual ears. Treena never sets out to explain a journey she hasn’t taken. She
always uses her own life as a practical example.
