Poetry Together - Poetry Workshops with Poetry Champion for Bedfordshire Debra Knight part of Gyles Brandreth's Poetry Together Campaign.
About this Event

It's no secret that poetry has a magical power to connect hearts and souls. Gyles Brandreth, a man of letters and a keen poetry enthusiast, envisioned this power of togetherness through poetry. He initiated the Poetry Together project, and now, it's taking root across the country with the help of passionate Poetry Champions.

One such champion is Debra Knight, Bedfordshire's very own Poetry Champion. She's inviting you to participate in Bedfordshire's Poetry Together Campaign, which includes workshops at the scenic Wardown House, Museum & Gallery, and the Pilgrim Poetry Walks.

Debra is hosting a series of intriguing Poetry workshops: -

"Internity: In the Beginning was the Word!". This isn't your average poetry session. It's a unique blend of poetry, Cymatic and Solfeggio frequencies, ancient traditions, storytelling, and narrative psychology, exploring the profound impact of words and sound on our emotions and surroundings.

“Constellation” is a narrative psychology poetry therapy session that allows participants to reauthor a more positive life story based on the Kemetic principle that “I am I because we are One.” This workshop offers a unique opportunity to use poetry as a tool for personal growth and healing, helping you craft a more empowering life narrative.

“Folklore & Fairy Tales”. Our poetry workshops are designed to capture your inner child's imagination while exploring children’s stories from other cultures. This year's Poetry Together theme is “friendship.” These workshops blend the concept of friendships with culture and community to create poetry that creates a sense of belonging, security, and purpose, all inspired by the universal theme of friendship in folklore and fairy tales.

Debra, C.E.O and co-founder of Queen’s Award Winning (QAVS 2016) and Luton’s longest serving Community Interest Company NINE RED Presents… (CIC), (incorporated in 2006); is an artist of many mediums, a word mechanic, and a holistic health and wellbeing practitioner. Debra will guide you through this unique experience where she uses a holistic approach, combining the arts of light, colour, sound, and movement with the profound medium of poetry to stir emotions and spark creativity.

Join us on this journey of exploration where poetry meets holistic healing and ancient Kemetic wisdom, in a sacred space that promotes creativity, empathy, and joy. It's more than just a poetry session; it's a transformative experience that will leave you inspired, healed, and ready to embrace a new perspective.

We can't wait to welcome you to this unique event! Be there to witness the magic of words and sound in a whole new light, with the enchanting power of poetry to touch your soul on multiple levels.
