The Healing Art of Poetry
Sukina Noor’s workshops will take you on a tender writing journey where poetry will be used as a tool to explore aspects of ourselves in need of healing with the heart as our guide where your writing becomes your pathway towards healing, forgiveness, self-love and self-compassion.
Day One
We will begin our writing journey together by exploring The Self, we will focus on aspects of our beautifully complex selves that need to be witnessed, expressed and healed.
Day 2
We will then explore wounds we have inherited from Ancestors and Family that will be acknowledged and honoured through our writing and that which no longer serves us will be released.
Day 3
We will explore The Heart, what has wounded, bruised or broken our hearts that impacts how we give and receive love and how can we use our words to listen to and heal the heart.
Day 4
We will be exploring The Soul, so much of our pain is as a result of a wounded soul, what has caused this separation between the self and the soul, this session will explore ways in which this connection be restored.
Create Your Story
Nafisah's afternoon workshops will focus on taking your writing to the next level. Through a combination of reflective exercises, writing prompts, discussions, and practical guidance, you can develop a plan to turn your healing journey into a book of poems or memoir.
Day One
Through guided writing exercises we will draw in aspects and events in our lives to uncover our personal narrative. We will begin creating poems or lyrical essays to develop throughout the retreat.
Day 2
By creating a storyteller's toolkit we will infuse vulnerability and emotions into our storytelling. We will explore the use of metaphors, imagery and how to safely connect to your reader through vulnerability.
Day 3
This session will focus on writing techniques and steps to revision to take your work to a publishing level. We will use the writing time to generate, revise or share.
Day 4
We will play with our writing by creating ekphrastic poetry - writing on visual art. We will use found objects, personal photos, art prints, and more to create a piece to take home.
