ETA: this event will take place on July 19th!
the blurb:
Poetry is as old as human language and, like trance, begins with a somatic connection. By learning to awaken your inner poet, comfort, artistry, and skill in trance-work are enhanced.
In this one-day poetry workshop, we will find the roots of language in breath, body, awareness, and movement. Words rise up from silence – the silence of bone, of earth, of rain, of the half-heard word in another room, of the dream you wake with the feeling of but can’t quite recall. We’ll learn to tap these springs, these places of “otherness,” and bring their voices to words. The result will be poetry, even if you’ve never written poetry before or never thought you could.
We’ll work with a two-stage process:
(1) accessing primary material through trance, rhythm, dyadic and group processes, and journaling; and
(2) crafting and editing these words with the power of tonality, rhythm, repetition, reference, imagery, and creative ambiguity. You’ll leave at the end of the day with poems you’ve written and the skill and confidence to keep writing them.
