Course overview
Course description
If you are interested in deepening your relationship with yourself, your community and your surroundings through writing, then this course is for you. You will be guided to a holistic understanding of person and place. The space will be held so you can listen to your bodies and surroundings to hear the stories they want to tell. It will provide you with a friendly, nurturing and fun place even if you feel a little shy of writing and self-inquiry.
During the course you will be given the opportunity to:
• deepen your sensorial and physical awareness,
• explore ways to express yourself using words,
• practice a meditation (all bodies welcome),
• have a space to listen and write from the heart.
• Rest in your true nature.
This course will support individual wellbeing, that of the community and the environment. Sharing your experiences in a supported community will help develop self-confidence and give the opportunity to explore meaning in your life. Openness is encouraged but you will not be asked to share more than you are comfortable with. There will be time for sharing small parts of your writing towards the end of the workshop but no pressure, it is about an unfolding individual/shared creative process and participants need to feel at ease to write freely.
