Poetry Retreat / 2022

Word, voice, image, landscape, movement

8 to 12 April 2022

In this retreat, we will embrace the inner pulsating poetics in their fullest manifestation. Taking our creative self as our ally, we will follow the impulse of the unknown until we embody it in word and gesture. Written or spoken, moved or expressed in visual and image forms. We will open the way to the different poetic voices within us. We will write, paint, make collages, and delve into physical poetry; we will take the body as a poetic instrument passing through practices of movement and word, phrase, composition and poem configuration.

We will learn how images speak to us, we will pull the internal symbology, and we will surrender ourselves to the places that carry in their vibration a voice waiting to be materialized.

We will practice in nature, in places of immense beauty: beaches of turquoise and crystalline water, mountains of wild landscape and forests of ancient olive trees. There will be poetry and creative writing sessions, Yoga, movement and physical poetry.

Venue:

Oikia Karapanou - Aegina, Greece.
