If your organs could speak, what would they say? What stories, worlds and experiences live within your lungs, your liver, your spleen? Giving language to our internal voices and landscapes can conjure up the most powerful pieces of writing and unearth our most unique voices; it is liberating to unpack the storehouses of our bodies and find the words held there. Speaking back to what has been waiting to speak to us can help us execute some of the richest and most beautiful prose we didn’t even know we had within. During these sessions you will be guided through safe and supportive visualisations and provided with imaginative prompts to create pieces of writing that develop your figurative language, your unique voice and individual themes. As well as this cathartic writing practice, there’ll be time to reflect on our process to support one another. This workshop is for all levels of writing and will appeal to those who are particularly interested in prose, personal essay, memoir or vignette, or for those who wish to deepen their journaling/self-exploration practices.
