PAST (& future?) OFFERINGS:
- Bard's Night Out - with bard partner Henry Jack, this three year creative experiment focused on bringing poetry off the page and into full multidimensional embodiment - in the body, in community, in place - through a blend of salon style performance, community open mic, and social gatherings.
- Poetry & Movement Workshops - a series of workshop explorations of poetry in the body, and patterns in our listening and speaking. What if we let go of the idea that we have to sit still to be truly listening? What if we let ourselves be literally moved by others' words, if we listened with our whole bodies? What if we spoke with our whole bodies, if we spoke to paint images into communal space? What if we danced our expression with both body and word?
- Relational Meditation - facilitating groups into experiences of expanded and collective awareness, where shared experience becomes the living poem, and you never know what kind of magic might arise. Weaving authentic expression practices like circling, t-group, and bohmian dialogue with good old fashioned meditation and tea.
- Multi-modal Performance Collaborations - bringing together elements of poetry, story-telling, dance, music, art, dialogue and meditation to deepen a communal exploration of an important human theme. See the program for Pilgrim 2016, e.g.
