STRUCTURE:
The class will cap at 12 people on ZOOM. Once classes are filled, I will open a waiting list. Your spot is not secured until I receive payment. I will email you a confirmation of payment received with 36 hours during the weekdays.
Classes will be 2 hours long with a 10-15 minute break at the halfway point. The class will include writing, meditation, movement prompts that are fluid and adaptable for various bodies, with the chance to read your work out loud and share space with 11 other writers. While I am facilitating, we will co-create the space together with intimacy and care and play.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
My name is Madison Mae Parker. Most call me Madi. I am an artist, poet, space-maker, and educator. I have been teaching/facilitating workshops (primarily writing) for a decade to all ages and demographics. I am currently in graduate school to get my MFA in Performance from School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1st year) while simultaneously studying expressive arts therapy from the Tamalpa Institute (2nd year). Expressive arts therapy is a somatic approach to understanding our internal world and what messages the body has to share with us through visual art, writing, and movement. While my class is NOT a therapy space, I do strive to use these tools to help foster a safe, imaginative, and generative space. I am a cat owner, a cartoon lover, an anime nerd, and a huge introvert. I am white, able-bodied, neurodivergent, queer witch who believes poetry and writing create portals for new beginnings and deeper knowings of ourselves and the world around us.
