Details

Experience a unique and holistic writing workshop, Body Writes: Poetry & Yoga with Ceri Baker, that combines the power of body, breath, and creative writing. Join award-winning poet and performer Ceri Baker, the current Bard of Exeter, as she guides you through two workshops designed to unlock your creativity and help you write your best self. In these workshops, we will explore the connection between writing and the body's lived experience. Through a blend of accessible yoga, breathwork, poetry, and creative writing, participants will discover writing as a means to empower themselves and connect with their inner selves. These workshops are open to all genders, ages, and levels of writing experience. Please note that these workshops are intended for individuals aged 16 and above, who have some life experience to process through writing. While the workshops have a therapeutic nature, they are not strictly therapy sessions. Participants are encouraged to only delve as deeply as they feel comfortable and to respect both their own emotional boundaries and those of others. The workshops will take place on Saturday, March 9th and Saturday, March 30th. They will be held at Exeter Library, located at Castle Street, Exeter, EX4 3PQ. As these are taster workshops, we are offering a Pay What You Want system, with a recommended donation of £4 per workshop. However, feel free to contribute whatever amount you can. It is recommended, though not required, to attend both workshops. Due to limited spaces, booking in advance is essential.
