We began by contemplating our writing alter ego and what writing brings to us. We then led into some free-writing to mark the start of the workshop as we began writing together, joined in our zoom-box configuration.
We contemplated the theme of amalgamating and co-created a word cloud. It's always fascinating to observe the placement of the words in the arrangement.
A five element movement exercise and some quiet sitting helped to settle minds in readiness for the main writing exercise. The poem deepened our focus, taking time to build to an unexpected ending. This led the group into some more writing taken from self-selected phrases in the poem. We then considered the different strands of our self and our life and how these came together. Some rich insights, including some personal affirmations, emerged from the writing and sharing providing plenty of food for further reflection and further writing.
