Commune with Jeff Krasno

236. Commusings: The Poetics of Healing with Jacqueline Suskin

As a poet, Jacqueline Suskin never anticipated playing a role in the health and wellness world. But after writing more than forty thousand spontaneous poems in public she has also recognized that poetry can be a precise package for delivering healing. This, in turn, sparked a deeper reflection: From what roots does poetry pull its power? Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture. To sign up, visit onecommune.com. To take Jacqueline's Commune course, Every Day is a Poem, for FREE, visit onecommune.com/poem. And for more musings and quotes, connect with us on Instagram at @onecommune.

The Commune Podcast is where we explore the ideas and practices that help us live healthy, connected, purpose-filled lives. Each week host Jeff Krasno speaks with teachers, spiritual leaders, doctors, and storytellers on topics related to personal and societal well-being — from nutrition and integrative medicine to spirituality and personal growth to environmental regeneration and civic engagement. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform with more than 100 full-length video courses with top teachers such as Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Mark Hyman, Adriene Mishler, and many others.<br/><br/>Learn more at <a href="https://www.onecommune.com" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">onecommune.com</a>.
