Upcoming Events
September 5, 2024
5 - 7 PM PST on Zoom
Session 1 - Corporeal Writing Workshop - Listening to the Poem
This is a new offering from me at Corporeal Writing. Did you know that I've been working on a new poetry collection? It's the perfect time for me to teach about writing because I'm deep in it. I hope you'll join me. Here's some info: It’s possible to listen to the inner logic of a poem to help develop it – but only if we write fearless first drafts in which the poetic voice can come through boldly before the editing mind takes over. In this four week course (2 hours per week via zoom), we'll explore metaphors and similes that move, the list, the twist and the relatable insight. We'll discuss – and practice with - reading aloud for/with others to super-charge your editing abilities. We'll write in class and discuss habits of poetry to move you forward.

Corporeal Writing Workshop - Making Meaning and Memoir
Zoom
This series focusing on process and understanding how we frame what has happened to us in our lives, how we can use writing as a method of inquiry in order to access and enhance memory. We will spend no time polishing writing (in fact, I hope we write some things we'll never want to share with anyone).

Yoga is for Every Body Retreat
near Toronto, Canada
This isn't solidified yet, but please let me know your interest. It'll be 5 days as usual and the retreat center hits that sweet spot between rustic-in-nature and very comfortable. In this retreat, we use daily gentle yoga, nature and writing/reflection/discussion activities to explore the stories we carry in our bodies. I used to offer two per year in Hawaii, and I'm coming back - possibly in Canada. Let me know if you'd like to join.

"The balance between objectivity and intimate analysis certainly gives Dark an edge and has made her a force to be reckoned with on every level..." — Evening Echo (Cork, Ireland) "Dark's performance was so packed with information, humor, and poetry... One thing is certain: her show is a must-see!" — The Scribe (Colorado Springs, CO) |
