(1) Writing Out of the Darkness: An Anthology of Poetry by Refugees in Transition
"The story behind this collection of poems is built around the creation of a community of young immigrants from different parts of the world, who found in their art a renewed love of life and the courage to liberate themselves from oppression. In sharing their struggles, journeys and dreams, the Owl and the Panther poets inspire and give us hope that indeed another world is possible."
-Jorge Cabrera, former therapist with the Hopi Foundation
Owl and Panther is a unique group designed to help those affected by trauma through creative writing and counseling. Owl and Panther especially seeks to treat trauma associated with torture, dislocation, refugee status, or family problems. Through creative writing, counseling, and community service participants of diverse ages, backgrounds, and ethnicity build confidence and enhance their communication and leadership skills.
As Owl and Panther participants meet people from other cultures they:
* Learn about history and geography
* Strengthen their communication skills
As they write and perform their poetry they:
* Find strength to care for other victims of war and disasters
* Develop leadership skills
As a result, they become confident and compassionate. But most importantly, they discover they are not alone.
