IPTN

Welcome to Irish Poetry Therapy Network - IPTN, a non-profit organisation that provides an environment where participants explore at first hand, through the use of poetry therapy and bibliotherapy, the healing power of poetry as a means of identifying and dealing with various life issues.

Find out more about us and how to join our network by checking out our site.


Confidentiality Agreement: IPTN Sessions are held in a confidential space. Participants, discussions and poems are only published with agreement. These sessions use poetry as therapy and are not psychotherapy sessions.

IPTN Conference - A successful day!

What a day it was - full of interesting and enlightening facilitations from all our speakers. Thanks to  facilitators and to all who attended and participated in the sessions, you made the conference the successful event it was. We could not have done it without you! Copies of the poems are on their way.

Check out our autumn ezine below for details of upcoming online events during 2024.
