Do you struggle to find a unique voice in your poetry? Do you find it hard to focus or make choices that are authentic and interesting to others? Are you shy when it comes to expressing your interior world and experience? We will explore the sense of self and identity as a springboard for writing poetry using a combination of writing prompts and physical exercises, alternating between centering and exploration as we seek to find an anchor that permits us to express who we are and become who we want to be.

You will leave with some playful tools that help you get “out of your way” and “out of your head,” as well as strategies to improve your confidence and cultivate different ways to tell your story.
