Bodypoems: A Night of Sensual Dance & Poetry

​Join Lauren Nagel and Joy Sullivan for a beginner-friendly night of poetry, play, and sensual movement. This 2- part workshop is structured as a writing workshop and moving meditation. 

​Workshop 1: Writing

​First, we’ll write into our erotic essence—finding new language to name and awaken. We’ll write from the sovereign self—our life-force, our hunger-center, our magic deep. Through embodied craft techniques, you’ll leave with a written anthem that speaks to your singular sensual power. 

​In between sessions, you’ll have time to connect, snack, and gather.

​Workshop 2: Dance 

​In our second session, we’ll move.  Sensual embodiment is a mindfulness practice of using your senses to feel into the pleasure of your own body. You’ll discover what language your body longs to  speak—whether in arch, curve, roll, drape, crawl, or shake. You’ll find your flow and leave with a new vocabulary of movement.

​“When I speak of the erotic, then, I speak of it as an assertion of the lifeforce of women; of that creative energy empowered, the knowledge and use of which we are now reclaiming in our language, our history, our dancing, our loving, our work, our lives.”-- Audre Lorde
