Who do we get to be when we accept all the twists and turns in the road that we have travelled? Who do we become when we allow the stories from our journey to be told, seen and given wings to fly?
“Spoken Wordicine” is a lively, fun and profound process whereby we turn inward toward our lived experience and massage our stories into poetry. By allowing another to walk a mile in our shoes in safe space, we set ourselves free from the weight of the past and make space for tomorrow’s potential. Meanwhile, there are worlds within the words buried in us that are itching to be unearthed.
“A poem begins with a lump in the throat.”
Via zoom, we engage:
-group games and activities in pairs
-videos of powerful poetry pieces
-writing tools and techniques for sharpening our skills
-a one-on-one coaching session
-a virtual campfire performance

During the last zoom session, we “build a campfire” to gather around and share our stories, the way humans have done since the beginning. Each student presents an original (and personal) spoken word piece, having received the necessary guidance to write it. There will be tears and there will be laughter- guaranteed.
This is a transformational and liberating process for those who feel the call.

NOTE
In “Spoken Wordicine”, you will meet your fears.
Of being judged, of speaking your truth in public, of being seen and heard.
Perhaps scarier; of being met with affirmation in the places perhaps deemed too dark and ugly to accept.
Yup, we’re going there.
Without wallowing, without coersion, we get INSPIRED to face whatever is ready to move, whatever that thing may be.
It’s time.

I have been presenting, adapting and revising this program for the past six years. The first online iteration was a great success, and we are ripe for a second. Looking forward to journeying with you!
