confessional

About this event

Confessional poetry of the 1950’s & 60’s came at a time of societal change and disillusionment. Poets and artists felt a deep urge to move beyond abstraction and create from their direct experience. This was part of a shift in perception, influencing how we see our self, humanity and relationships today. Now on the thresholds of even greater collective change, in the face of such unknowns, how do we find new pathways for what we seek to express? What are our modern ‘confessions’? We will explore the body through movement practices and drawing; language through study of a range of writers and artists; questions on God and the planet through the lens of nature and the mystic traditions. Are you a writer with an interest in developing your craft as part of a unique and nurturing group? I invite you to join me on this journey. Dates: 2-7pm on April 11th / May 2nd / June 6th / July 4th I am a yoga-movement teacher and dancer, have an MA in poetry and have published two books. My poems offer a tool, a bridge, a torch in our human search for meaning and explore the questions and tensions that exist between communion and freedom. Information and booking: /
