Embodied Authorship: A Poetry & Soul-Writing (Virtual) Workshop
Communication is the essence of everything we know.
All we have is communication - through senses, feelings, expressions, thoughts, and finally: LANGUAGE. Communication in essence, is the living conversation between your body and your mind, your senses and your thoughts, your feelings and your knowing self expressed and connected from within, throughout. We are always communicating with our environments.
The question is - how might we embrace our unique authorship from a deeper layer within? What might that look like? What what might transpire?
Embodied Authorship is an invitation to deepen in this work — through the body's intelligence, through the senses, through feeling, through the active imagination, and through the written word. When you can hear yourself more clearly, all of you, not just the part your mind approves of, our world might just SHIFT. This shows up, in your work, creations, connections, LIFE.
This is not a classical writing workshop. We will embrace a communication practice to deepen how we listen, translate, and express.
*** This is a VIRTUAL experience, hosted via Google Meet. ***
HERE IS HOW:
Over three hours together, we will move through:
— Somatic listening: learning to hear what your body already knows before your mind
— Writing from sensation: so that what lands on the page is alive, not edited, or ‘performed’
— Active imagination and symbolism: working with the images and symbols that rise when you get quiet enough to receive them
— Soul-writing: accessing the voice that lives beneath self-doubt, self-editing, and the ‘noise’
— Inner literacy: building a richer, more fluent language between your senses, your feelings, and your deepest knowing
Active dreaming is the thread that weaves it all together.
THIS IS FOR: anyone who has ever felt that words on a page (and said aloud) don't quite capture what they're actually experiencing inside.
For writers who want to write from somewhere more real.
For people who don't consider themselves writers, but sense there is something inside that wants to be said.
For those navigating transition, grief, creative blocks, or the feeling of having lost the thread.
For leaders, creatives, coaches, and humans who want a richer, more embodied relationship with their own inner world.
For anyone who wants their inner and outer communication to finally feel deeply embodied and aligned.
No poetry or writing experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself on the page.
