Writing with the Body
Writing with the Body is a hybrid practice of movement and reflection. We write with, to, and from the body as a way of reforming our relationship with writing, movement, and attention.
The session alternates between gentle movement and writing. Movement is used first — not as exercise, but as a way to rehydrate tissue, tend to joints, and harmonise neuromuscular tone. As physical tone shifts, so too does the tone and pace of thought. Writing then becomes a way to notice that change.
Between movement segments, simple writing games are introduced. These are not about producing good writing, but about observing how bodily state influences language, imagination, and clarity. Over time, this back-and-forth becomes a form of tuning.
You can think of the body here as a complex instrument. This workshop offers practical ways to self-tune — to find coherence, to synchronise rhythm across breath, heart, and thought, and to return to centre when things feel noisy or scattered.
Who it’s for:
Anyone curious about writing, movement, and self-understanding. No writing background required. Curiosity and a willingness to try are enough.
