Endo-Shambalans come and let your pens run wild in the Red Sea Travel Agency!
Wild Writing is an intuitive and liberating practice employing techniques to let our creative inner voice flow to the surface and minimise self-censoring and the striving for perfection. With the help of carefully curated poems, snippets of texts and writing prompts, we will explore new ways of relating to our bodies, our surroundings and each other. Intuitive writing and creative tasks will take us on an adventure to explore how our experience of living with endometriosis has impacted our view on the world and hopefully crack open new ways of relating – to the world, our bodies and each other. There will be an opportunity to share your writings and art at the end if you may wish, but no expectation to do so.
Endometriosis is a chronic illness where cells similar to those of the endometrium (womb lining) are growing outside of the womb causing painful periods, flare-ups and an array of other related health problems. This workshop is mainly aimed at individuals living with endometriosis (or adenomyosis, PCOS) but open to everyone interested.
This is an inclusive space, everyone is welcome join, to connect with others living with endo and express their experiences with the condition through art and writing.
There is also an offer to co-create a poem or piece of art collectively to share with the visitors of RSTA during the remainder of the festival.
