Virtual Poetry Dive - with Kim Rosen (online)

Poetry is the language of intimacy with self and others. It can invite us to strip our masks and give naked voice to what is deepest within us. Hearing and/or speaking it aloud can literally change brain chemistry and thus dissolve painful patterns of thought, feeling, and physiology, aligning us with what is innocent, intimate, and holy within. This invariably ripples out to touch and transform the world around us.

Kim has innovated unique techniques of working with the Zoom video platform to create a lush immersion in music, poetry, movement, and connection. This is not 3.5 hours entrained to your device. It is an inner journey that will intentionally disrupt your ‘screen time’ because the primary focus is deep listening within.

Join us for this adventure into the unexpected intimacy, connection and authenticity possible through the miracle of Zoom in alchemy with music, the poetry of the inner life, dancing, writing, sharing -- all held in a strong vessel ceremony and shared intention...

More details about ‘Virtual Poetry Dive’

The workshop begins with a meditation and opening ceremony… This is followed by a "Poetry Dive" which is a format Kim has created that moves from movement to an immersion in poems spoken by Kim with powerful music, designed to allow you to lie back in the shamanic medicine of word and rhythm and allow your inner life to rise to the surface. The experience continues with spontaneous writing. This is followed by optional sharing in the group.

The focus is more on the soul's unfoldment than on poetry per se. 

There will be a 10 minute "go outside and breathe" break in the middle of the program.

Note about what this is not: This is not 3.5 hours entrained to your device. It is primarily an audio journey, that will intentionally disrupt your 'screen time', because the primary focus is deep listening within.

 

Who is Kim Rosen, M.F.A., author of 'Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words'...
Kim has awakened listeners around the world to the power of poetry to heal and transform individuals and communities. She is a poet, spoken word artist, ritualist and teacher of inner work centering on the power of poetry as a pathway to radical authenticity and self-revelation. Founder of the Poetry Depths Mystery School, and Soul School, her writing has been published in The Sun Magazine, O Magazine, and Spirituality and Health among others. Kim is also the co-creator of four CDs of poetry and music, among them is the album ‘Only Breath’... A revolutionary meeting between poetry and music that joins the poems of Neruda, Rumi, Rilke, Tsvetaeva and others with the heart melting magic of Jami Seiber’s cello. In 2007 Kim spoke a poem to a group of Maasai girls in Kenya who had fled FGM and Early Childhood Marriage, and that moment became the seed of the Safe House Education (S.H.E.) Fund.

Testimonial: "This is one of the best experiences I ever had. It was such a gift to be free to be immersed so deeply in sound, the sound of your voice, the upwelling of the music. It was one of the most completely immersive all-encompassing few hours. Fishes and loaves all in one, sustaining. In many ways this moment in time has brought blessings I never expected to receive again because of the difficulty of travel and the limitations of sound and sight age has brought me. But they were overcome this glorious afternoon."

 

What is the ‘S.H.E. Fund’
The S.H.E Fund was inspired by the courageous and dedicated girls of the Tasaru Rescue Center in Narok, Kenya. Also known as the V-Day Safe House, the refuge was created in 2002 by Agnes Pareyio, a Maasai visionary, in collaboration with V-Day, to help Maasai girls escape the tribal traditions of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early childhood marriage, and to provide them with primary and secondary education, a right denied women in the Maasai tradition.The S.H.E Funds mission is to provide girls of the V-Day Safe House with college, university or trade school education in order to support these young women to become change-makers in their communities and stop the cycles of oppression (Female Genital Mutilation, Early Childhood Marriage and the refusal to educate females) in their culture and on our planet; To offer these students scholarship for tuition and all living expenses, as well as deeply engaged mentorship from S.H.E. staff and funders as they face the tasks of becoming leaders in their communities and the world; To foster as many student-donor relationships as possible, in the knowledge that the cross-cultural human connection will change the lives of all.
