If you’re looking for writing workshops, the Expressing the Earth Conference at Wiston Lodge 14-16 June is the place to be. Helen Boden’s workshop Touching the Earth / Voicing the Land will combine her interests in poetry, mindfulness, and breath & sound work. An enjoyable, accessible and experimental way of engaging with a magical place, it will involve close listening to ambient sounds – running water, wind, birdsong . . . in a playful attempt to catch, vocalise and transcribe their sonic signature. We’ll also work with our own bodily rhythms – breath, footfall . . . and discuss any pitfalls and ethics involved in this work – on the path to producing some performance and text art. The process will also respond spontaneously to and explore ways of incorporating any unfolding themes during the conference. More about Helen: helenbodenliteraryarts.wordpress.com.
