Life Is Poetry

A 60-Minute Online Creative Writing Experience with Adam Roa

Your feelings aren’t problems to solve. They are art ready to be expressed.

We're living in a time when everyone's trying to convince you what to believe, what to fear, and how to think.

But what if the answer isn't in your head at all?

What if, instead of trying to make sense of what you're feeling, you gave yourself permission to turn it into art?

Art invites you to feel again.

To see from a new angle.

To remember our shared humanity beneath all the noise.

Whether creativity is already part of your daily practice or you've been feeling disconnected from that creative spark, Life Is Poetry offers something rare: structured space, gentle guidance, and a community that understands the healing power of expression.

About the Experience

Life Is Poetry is a 60-minute online creative writing workshop where we gather as a community to explore one theme together — a mirror for whatever is alive in the world and within ourselves.

Here's how we'll spend our time together:

I'll begin by sharing a short teaching and perspective on the theme — something to help open the creative channel and invite you deeper into yourself. Then, you'll be guided through a writing prompt and given 15 minutes to create your own piece — a poem, a song, a short story, or whatever form your truth wants to take.

The final part of the experience is our community share, where volunteers can read or perform what they've written. This is where the real magic happens — witnessing each other's hearts through art, remembering that there's beauty in every perspective, and seeing that creativity can heal what logic never could.

This isn't about being a "writer" or a "poet."

It's about showing up as a human — curious, honest, and brave enough to turn life itself into poetry.

Why I Created This Space

My viral spoken word poem, "You Are Who You've Been Looking For," has been viewed more than 250 million times — not because it was perfectly crafted, but because was art. And art bypasses the logical mind and penetrates right into our emotions.

Why is this important?

Because in order to heal, we must feel.

Art is the permission slip to help us feel. Both as the artists and as the audience.

Over the past decade, I have performed and led workshops on stages from TEDx to Mindvalley, working with professional athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. But beyond all the credentials, I’m someone who also healed my suicidal depression with the help of art. So I know how important it is, now more than ever.

Because a lot of us are uncertain about what to do. A lot of us need a safe space to feel, express, and find beauty. Life is crazy. But it’s also poetry.

That's why I created Life Is Poetry: a living space for people to remember that creativity isn't just something we do — it's who we are.

What Others Are Saying

"I lost my creative spark over three years ago after being diagnosed with a burnout... Through this community, I have been reminded to focus on my creativity daily. It wasn't only about creativity after all. It was about being 'in the arena' and understanding the struggle we're all in TOGETHER."

— Zita

"In a room full of storytellers on the cutting edge of culture, Adam not only showed us how to engage an audience by being authentic, vulnerable and human, but he reminded us of the why behind it all. After his workshop, the entire atmosphere of the event changed, conversations deepened and people leaned in."
