"Come Home to Your Self" -
In Person Writing and Feldenkreis workshop with Anne Taylor
Sat 16 Nov 2024: 1 - 3.30p.m.
Calthorpe Community Garden 258-274 Grays Inn Rd, London WC1X 8LH
We're delighted that our friend and Lapidus London member, the highly experienced facilitator and author Anne Taylor will be running a workshop for us.
Anne writes: "Come Home to Your Self" is a workshop drawing on movement, awareness and writing for creative inspiration and self-exploration.
This workshop will introduce participants to ways in which playful movement sequences, combined with close attention, can bring us home to an enhanced sense of ourselves and our authentic writing voice.
During the session she will lead a series of gentle chair-based Awareness Through Movement lessons based on the Feldenkrais Method before inviting participants to write freely from prompts and poetry with the aim of inspiring a more embodied form of self-expression. As well as providing an introduction to Feldenkrais, a somatic learning method which she qualified in four years ago, she will talk about its relationship to creativity and the ways in which she has blended somatic awareness and movement with her work as a therapeutic writing facilitator with various groups.
Most recently her work in the field of therapeutic writing has been with carers and people living with mental health challenges and medical students and doctors. She also co-directs the Professional Writing Academy's Introduction to Therapeutic and Reflective Writing and Running Writing Workshops courses with Dr Vicky Field.
Please wear warm comfortable clothes (including socks) for this session. You may be invited to remove your shoes!"
