Poetry Workshops: Experience Creative Discovery

A space for the unrefined

My philosophy is simple: poetry cannot be taught, but we can create the conditions where it appears. Whether we are in a quiet room or wandering through the paths of Sunder Nursery, the focus remains on personal reflection rather than strict literary technique.

How we spend our time

• Sensory Prompts: We do not stare at blank pages waiting for inspiration. We use music, visual art, and even the smell of coffee to bypass the analytical mind and get words flowing.
• The Collective: Groups are strictly kept to 7-15 people. This keeps the acoustic and emotional environment clear, allowing everyone to share their work without the anxiety of a large audience. We often end with food and conversation, which is part of the care we offer each other.
• No Prerequisites: Whether you write daily or haven't touched a pen in years, you belong here. The goal is to leave with at least one poem that is truly yours and a sense of having slowed down for a few hours.

Practical details

Sessions range from 2.5-hour walks to 2-day zine-making intensives. I manage all materials, from textured paper to stationery, so you only need to show up as you are. We operate at locations like Novotel, Alliance Francaise, and Kunzum, providing an air-conditioned, calm environment for our sessions.
