Awaken Your Creative Spirit: Poetry as Intuitive Practice

Our intuitions, our inner knowings, are guiding forces. They propel our forward actions and trust in ourselves. They are our creative power. In times of tumult, it is easier to lose ourselves. Writing helps us return. In this four-week generative writing workshop, participants will write poetry that more deeply connects them to their roots, lineages, intuition, and creative power. They will learn strategies and practices to listen more deeply to themselves, their own body wisdom, and create writing from that place.

Writers you will read include Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, Toni Morrison, Eve L. Ewing, Alexander Chee, and more. You will discuss the political necessity of your creative voices and learn body-based practices for grounding yourselves in times of turmoil. Each week, you will write a new piece. Together, you will return to the joy of writing, outside of industry. All writing levels and experiences are welcome.
