The Poetic Body is a Tamalpa-inspired workshop series where dance, somatic movement, art, and writing come together to tell the body’s story. Each gesture, image, and word becomes a way of listening — not only to our own inner landscapes, but also to the resonance of bodies moving together.

In these workshops, we explore how movement can open memory, how mark-making can capture emotion, and how words can give shape to what the body already knows. The process honors both the individual journey and the collective story we create in shared space.

The Poetic Body does not ask for performance or skill, only a willingness to listen. It is a way of giving shape to what moves within us, of turning sensation into image, and image into meaning. In this process, the body becomes both storyteller and guide, revealing connections between the personal and the collective, the visible and the unseen.

The Poetic Body is not a performance, but a practice of presence and discovery. It offers a space to witness the intelligence of the body, to transform inner experience into art, and to feel how our personal stories are always part of a larger, shared fabric.
