A Seat at the Table
An invitation to explore the fundamental need as well as the exquisite desires to belong. My own nomadic experiences through the extended family in childhood and life in different continents as an adult have intrigued me and my sense of belonging. We will open with a simple body awareness to step into an embodied experience of writing, use poems, aspects of the wild world as well as recollections of family dynamics. A chance to gently explore our experiences of belonging, help us into a reflective process and to create narratives in various forms. Small group activities to share the process or the writing.
