✨ How do we connect to the Divine flow?

🌀 What textures move in our bodies?

💗 If you could hear your heart, what words would it whisper to you?

Join Poonam in a two-hour, creative workshop as we journey into our hearts.

Through meditation, intuitive drawing or painting and writing we will explore your connection to your heart. We will be connecting to the Divine energy and inviting it to flow onto the page.

We will be gently inquiring into our bodies, and learning from the wisdom of bodily sensations and textures in our internal landscapes. Our intention is to trust the flow and be present in the process, not to focus on creating a "perfect" outcome. We are not striving to make a finished piece.

🌊 Flow of the workshop:

• Light meditation practice

• Intuitive art -exploration

• Free-writing practice

• Collective sharing

This is for you if:

• You need to experiment and give yourself permission to play in the process

• You want to deepen your felt-sense and intuition

• You need space to (re)connect to your heart through writing, drawing and creating

• You want to cultivate a deeper connection to the Divine energy around you

• You want to feel grounded, calm and at ease in your body

What you will need for the workshop:

• Creative tools: crayons, felt tips, paint, paper - there are no rules, whatever medium you wish to explore with

• Writing tools: a journal and pen⁠

• Quiet space: sitting in a quiet area

• Textures of support: a photograph, object, candle, blanket, snacks, and drinks

How do I join the workshop?

You will receive all the joining details, including the Zoom link and materials recap, 48 hours before ( on Monday 4th March 2024). If you have any questions, please email Poonam on, poonam@ysm8.co.uk

Gentle reminders from Poonam:

Healing requires us to feel deeply and come back home to our bodies. Just because we understand something, doesn't mean we heal from it.

In the past five years, I’ve experienced radical shifts ripple in my life by feeling deeply and finding language beyond words. Nurturing my creative practice has been a healing balm, in addition to therapy and somatic coaching.

I use experiential writing, expressive drawing, collaging, and movement as a way to process what I am moving through. I want to you gift you the space and tools to reflect, and really feel into the textures of what you're moving through.

Expressing your emotions through art helps you to release things that need to get out. Sometimes we can’t simply communicate what we are feeling just with words. Creating images from our body and reflect upon our inner landscapes helps us find new understandings and meanings.

I am a qualified somatic coach, a mixed-media artist and creative facilitator, with a deep interest in texture constellations, ceremony, ritual, prayer and the cycles of nature.

I will bring somatic facilitation to the workshop to enable you to explore meaning in what you create. My intention is to create a cosy cocoon and nourishing atmosphere and hope to provoke thought and a richer space for you to gain a new or deeper understanding of your inner world. The workshop will not be group therapy or coaching. You may, however, find it therapeutic. You may share as much or as little as you like.
