Creativity and Aging

Poetry From Patricia Flasch

Patricia’s passion, her first love, is as a poet and writer.  She sees poetry and writing as her lst language, her vein of gold -  psycho-spiritual counseling and coaching as her second language... -   

She recently wrote her groundbreaking book, “Becoming a Love Dog” which is a tribute to her profound connection with Rumi... Patricia writes from an intimate place sharing her true stories in a wildly open-hearted  way. The book is available on Amazon.com.  She’s also written a rough draft of a book entitled “Leaving Your Patterns, Not Your Partners."

In addition, Patricia has written more than 100 “real to the bone” poems.  You can see a selection on her new web page www.LeadingfromtheHearts.com.  

She has "learned-by-heart" many of her own poems as well as the poems of Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, Mary Oliver, David Whyte, Naomi Shahib Nye, Kim Rosen, Stephen Levine and a plethora of other poets.  
She has her own style of being a “spoken word poet.”

Quotes From Patricia Flash

"Relationships are a Holy, Messy Place..."

"Creativity is a primary source of inspiration as we age...
Without it, we get old.  With it, we become elders..."
