I’m so grateful for the Embodied Poetry series that Christine instructed and facilitated wonderfully. In 2 hours every week for 8 weeks, we discussed poetry, reflected on our own relationship to poetry and writing, connected with our breath and bodies, wrote poems, shared poems, and received love and encouragement about our poems. This experience helped me believe more in myself as a writer, creative, and poet. I deeply appreciate the community that was created in this vulnerable and caring space. Christine made it so inviting and safe for us to contemplate and experiment with our writing process, her instruction was very accessible, and she hared a beautiful curation of poems for us to examine and learn from. I’ll remember this time with Christine and the other participants fondly.
