On Designing a Poetry Writing Workshop

3 workshops starting soon!

Hello, 

I wrote a new blog this week about the process of designing my Embodied Poetry workshop. Here's how it starts:

Although I'd felt drawn to write poetry from a fairly young age, High School English class zapped the pleasure right out of it for me. Suddenly poetry was dry, and complicated, and required you to understand of variety of complicated terms, and then find them like you were completing the most boring treasure hunt in the world.

I didn’t start to fall in love with reading poetry until I realized that I was allowed to interpret a poem in whatever way I liked. Read the full post here. 

Upcoming Workshops:

Poetic Intentions: TODAY at 6:15pm PST

I am personally NOT a fan of the whole self-help industry. I think it supports an experience of inadequacy that's necessary for its continued growth. This is not that.  This workshop is simply about conversation, and making space for ourselves to dream —  perhaps in a way that includes the body. 

Coming up very soon:

All workshops are hosted online. 

1. Embodied Poetry: 8-Week Mindful Writing Workshop -- STARTS Jan 26th at 3pm PST (2 spots left). Register here

2. Voice and Narrative: 6-Week Reflective Writing Series — STARTS Feb 1st at 6:15pm PST (3 spots left). Register here

As always, thank you for all your support. 

Warmly, Christine Bissonnette
