Can a poem change your life? Angela Deutschmann is delighted to dare you into that possibility with my new workshop, which combines two of her deepest joys: poetry and spiritual growth.
Over the course of five Saturday mornings this Winter, you can join her to explore how poetry can become a doorway into the truth of yourself and what may be beyond yourself. The poets of our world have always expressed revolutionary, rich, dangerous and ecstatic ideas, using the discipline and music of language to peel back illusion and speak what is real. Yet much of this delicious knowledge and experience remains outside of the everyday life of most of us, either because we simply don’t know how to find it or because we presume it is boring, inaccessible, irrelevant or hard work.
In the Soul Poetry workshop we will:
- Expose you to eight extraordinary, transcendent, life-changing poets both modern and ancient
- Release you from intellectualising or grasping the poems, and instead simply be vulnerable to them
- Uncover what the poems reveal about your own truth
- Inspire - and assist - you to see and write the poetry of your own life
Angela's aim is to open up the world of poetry to you as another graceful path for growth, comfort and self awareness. In facilitating this journey, she will be drawing on her intuition and experience as a spiritual teacher, as well as two cum laude degrees in Literature and her own creative writing adventures.
Preference will be given to those who have completed a Spiritual Growth Club with her but, if places remain, these are open to anyone.
