Lunch Poems
A Psychodynamic, somatic and symbolic Narrative Therapy group
Inspired by Frank O’Hara’s Lunch Poems and enriched with Jungian principles and somatic practices, this one-hour weekly group invites participants to explore the poetry of everyday life and uncover deeper personal meaning. Using O’Hara’s accessible and unfiltered approach to city life, emotions, and chance encounters, we’ll engage with narrative and somatic therapy techniques to examine the stories we tell about ourselves and how they shape our identities.
Guided by Jungian theory, we’ll explore archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the symbolism that naturally arises in our stories and in our bodies. Each session draws on meditation and writing exercise as a starting point, allowing us to creatively tap into our inner worlds. By weaving narrative therapy, somatic practices and Jungian concepts, participants will gain insight into the symbolic layers of their own experiences, unearthing new perspectives and fostering connections through shared storytelling.
Lunch Poems offers a reflective space where creativity, self-expression, and collective understanding come together, encouraging us to find the extraordinary within the everyday.
