ON BEING IN YOUR BODY : A GUIDE TO WRITING YOURSELF
This class is the love child of integrative counselor + writer, Victoria Emanuela and interdisciplinary artist + educator Caitlin Metz. In many ways it is the culmination of all they have been thinking, exploring and researching for the past five years.Write yourself and be present in your body through the use of somatic exercises, assigned reading, embodied writing, guided meditations and art making. In this course, you will write a manifesto, explore self portraiture and deepen the personal practice of being in your body
Our pedagogy centers around the idea of embodied knowledge. We will be connecting to ourselves and our senses through spacial, linguistic, and kinesthetic exercises and prompts. You will be asked to disrupt the language that mediates your existence and relationship to your most intimate self.
By exploring the space between the universe, mind, and your tender body; you will witness histories of your narrative come together and fall apart. It’s time to challenge all of your conditioned behavior, subvert the ways your body has been taken from you, and used to advertise oppressive ideologies. You have everything you need within you; we're here to help you come back, realign with your core needs, and the wisdom that is in your body.
