“In every community, there is work to be done.
In every nation, there are wounds to heal.
In every heart, there is the power to do it.”

Marianne Williamson

IaPOETRY, founded by Lila Weisberger, is a credentialing organization for the field of Poetry Therapy/Bibliotherapy, with community at its heart.

Our community includes Mentors, Poetry Therapy Practitioners and those in training, as well as all who share an interest in the work of iaPOETRY, from around the world.

We aim to build and sustain this community by offering one another mutual support and encouragement, whether throughout training or with individual and collective projects. We believe that everyone has skills and enthusiasms to share, and that in this sharing the iaPOETRY community is nurtured and enriched.
