APMC: The Apothecary of Poetry Method CertificatioN
Verse unifies the experiences of all the senses and names them with verse.
The Apothecary of Poetry is a spiritual, architectural, and physical space within each one of us.
The cognition of identity through verse.
A person’s real space sometimes grows tired, sick, is run down. Instead of being large and boundless, it becomes small and cramped. It oppresses and becomes a burden. It hides both the windows and the doors, the entrances of exits and the exits of entrances.
That is when we need to search for a cure.
From disharmony to harmony through the healing power of poetry.
The AP Method CertificatioN enables you to learn how to work with poetry.
The APMC is led by the author of the Apothecary of Poetry, Nikola Nikša Eterović, and his team.
The Apothecary of Poetry is an interdisciplinary project by Nikola Nikša Eterović that came to life in the Fall of 2013, in Berlin, and then set out into the world.
The training is divided into seven modules of varying length. Each module brings a series of topics that are approached experientially, practically, rationally, with one’s own creation, and with theoretical processing.
Creating – experiencing – reflecting – being aware – deepening – applying – conveying – observing – encouraging – nurturing…this is the direct approach to the training, to exchanging incentives, and raising awareness about action.
Using the possibilities of artistic expression in interactive and interdisciplinary activities, we will discover and use substance, identity, and the agency of poetry.
The APMC will be conducted in German, in Belin. In the Climate of Poetic Muses, the area between the rivers Cetina and Neretva, training will be held in Croatian.
