SUMMARY:The Singular Voice - Writing into Places that Struggle to Speak
DESCRIPTION:This community call will focus on embracing the world through our voices\, unpacking the fine details of the creative writing process as a meditation\, as an offering to our sacred world. \nWhat happens in the midst of mass tragedy in the moments when the bombs strike and life breaks open? These unspeakable horrors are both unbearable and often hidden from a witnessing eye. Is it possible that even through the suffering and death\, we can give voice to the words calling forth from these moments? How does the “I” sense\, attune to\, and communicate with – and within – these situations? In this conversation we will explore the possibility that consciousness\, intimacy\, and a field of awareness can be accessed through the power of the word. As activists\, spiritual practitioners\, meditators\, we each possess a distinct voice that can enter the collective experience\, embrace compassionately those who endure silent horrors\, and give voice to the longing we all have for collective healing and restoration as these tragedies continue. \nIn this community call\, we will explore: \n\nThe creative process of witnessing as inspiration for writing poetry and other experimental forms of creative writing during times of crisis\nHow a frequency of unconditional love can inspire the poetic process\nFoundational practices and exercises that can help expand one’s experience as a writer at any level\nThe delicate balance of bringing one’s voice and awareness into periods of crisis and mass destruction\, while sustaining one’s own joy and lightness as a gift to this process\nTrauma-informed writing: Engaging with traumatic events and those impacted by trauma with authenticity\, self-awareness\, and sensitivity\n\nTo prepare for the call\, please read Lori’s poem “Witness: Target = Rubble” \n
