On the Darkest Night
A SOMATIC POETRY WORKSHOP EXPLORING THE ESSENCE OF WINTER
On the Darkest Night is a somatic poetry workshop that will be offered on the Winter Solstice.
As daylight wanes and the winter approaches, participants will gather to uncover the poetic potential that lies within the shadows.
Guided by the practice of somatic word association, attendees will engage in exercises designed to deepen their connection to embodied knowledge.
This knowledge will be used to provide creative inspiration for the accompanying writing practice.
On the Darkest Night invites writers to transcribe the language of the body into verse, allowing the darkness to become a canvas for self expression and exploration.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
This 2 hour long workshop will be hosted on December 21, 2023 at 6:00PM EST.
The workshop will be hosted via Zoom.
This workshop is donation based. 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Focus Congo, which builds partnerships with local grassroots organizations and creates access to resources necessary for survival in the DRC.
This is not a traditional poetry workshop. More emphasis will be placed on somatic association than the quality or form of poems.
