“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
And rightdoing
There is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Rumi
As many of you know I am a great lover of poetry and often share poems during my workshops or whilst teaching Qigong.
Over the summer I offered two poetry dives at the “Breathe festival” and was blown away by the way they were received and I feel excited to offer more. So i have decided to move things around a little and offer the poetry dive at the Autumn Equinox Celebration (instead of a Conscious Connected Breath Journey)
You can check out the full details here: Autumn Equinox Celebration
So what is a Poetry Dive?
A poetry dive is a full immersion in poems, music, movement and silence designed to liberate the flow of our feelings and free our unique expression — through written words, voice, body, and/or silence. It is an opportunity to dive below the surface of our everyday consciousness, to rattle the cage of our beliefs and reveal the depths of our soul hidden beneath.
You will be guided through a journey of stillness, movement, sound and silence into an inner world where you can bathe in the undiscovered depths of yourself through deep listening within. We will immerse ourselves in music, poetry, dancing, writing and sharing all held in a strong vessel of shared intention and connection.
You don’t need to be a poet, you don’t need to be into poetry, you don’t even need to like poems. Many of us (including me) were put off poetry at school by being made to dissect or over analyse them or perhaps to learn them by rote. But in fact poetry was never meant to be “understood” or analysed, it is instead the language of the soul, of the feeling self, the language of intuition that can’t be understood, it needs to be felt in our tissues and bones.
When poems are put together with music something else happens. Music doesn’t need to be understood it is felt we know this and when they music and poems are put together the words can go deeper into the unconscious waking up our intuitive self. Waking up the language of the soul!
Poetry has inspired me and helped to open me and bring healing into my life. During the poetry dive there will be an invitation into free writing, just letting the pen move without a plan, without knowing what wants to come. For me this is a place where the magic can happen, where our unconscious hidden world can be made known, helping us to get in touch with our inner feelings.
This is something I am passionate about and I’m excited to share what I deeply love with you.
I didn’t trust it for a moment
but I drank it anyway,
the wine of my own poetry.
It gave me the daring to take hold
of the darkness and tear it down
and cut it into little pieces.“– By Lalla
