Christine’s 8-week workshop Embodied Poetry encompassed breathing techniques, freewriting, and participating in group discussions. Each week we were given a list of poems to read and a workshop outline before the session, as well as group discussion notes afterwards. The breathing techniques were new to me and I think anyone who wishes to write should try this! Christine is a talented and compassionate teacher, encouraging candid poetic writing. She creates a respectful space to share ideas and to be curious. It was a pleasure to take part in her virtual classroom!
