Description
Childhood is the bank balance of the writer.
— Graham Greene
We are StoryWomen! We are StoryMen!
When we write from our deep, wild soul, and bring the stories of our lives to the page in luscious, musical language, our writing comes alive, and our lifestory is transformed, transfigured…and often, healed, by the skilled, radiant telling. We join the StoryTribe…the ones who speak…the ones who sing and say, with spark and sparkle. And what a delectable aroma…as our lived lives come rolling in, on a wave of wondrous, ready to be shared! Poetry is the perfect container to discover & vividly describe not only the story of what happened — but who you are, at the deepest level, and what your life has meant. This profound work, done in inspired and inspiring community, teaches, by writing, where the journey of your life, your soul’s purpose, your gifts are leading you NOW: where you are going, where you have always been meant to go, and Who you have always been.
Through lavish handouts of poems, across cultures and through time, clear explanation of poetic skillsets, and inspiration, you will discover how to bring your lifestory to the page as poetry that moves, and uplifts, both self and listener. This class takes us on a Journey: we will drop down and write poems whose very forms open memory’s door to us — and brings us 100% juicy, hale and hearty and vibrant into our own WriteNow! Right Now…
