When nothing softens the grief, may grief soften me.
- Andrea Gibson
This workshop is for anyone who wants a vessel to put down their pain in.
A safe space for ALL your feelings.
Writing community has never been more important.

Are you waiting to flower open your grief? Are there stories waiting in the bedrock of your skin— your palm-lines, stretch-marks, moles? What shape are they asking for? Do you feel a grief or joy so deep you can't hide it anymore? This workshop is a part of my writing community. You can choose monthly or quarterly options.
July 20, 27. August 3, 10, 17, 24. Timing: 10 am EST to 12 pm EST, which is 2 pm to 4 pm UK time, and 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm pm IST.

Through a combination of somatic writing & poetry therapy, we will free what you've suppressed. For years. Let it 'spill' onto the page as automatic writing, dreams, poem seeds, myths, voice notes. Let it feel like a prayer. A homecoming. My writing instructor once said: "sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm in a body." Poetry reminds you that you have a body. You’re in a body. No matter what happens, you have this to lean on. And isn't that everything? Your shame isn't your story. But how you choose to write it, to transmute it— that most certainly can be. A superpower.

Write to feed parts of yourself you didn't even know were hungry. Realise how poetry isn't just a luxury. Not just a writing tool. But a lifeline. An anchor. A survival toolkit. Take back parts of yourself you'd shed in order to survive. Learn somatic writing exercises + emotional processing tools to help you get "unstuck.” Read work by Andrea Gibson, Mary Oliver, Audre Lorde, Ocean Vuong, bell hooks, Ross Gay, Li-Young Lee & more. Write at least 6-7 poems/prose pieces you can be proud of.

It's clear Trivarna puts her heart and soul into this community. She offers encouragement and validation to every participant, whether they are reading a poem out loud, sharing their draft work, or offering their insights and reactions to the example poems.

Excellent. Trivarna creates such a safe, nurturing space to grow and learn and develop. I felt very supported by her and the group both. It felt like a place to rest and from that place of rest to be able to explore - and that is the very definition of feeling absolutely safe. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, so she has very much to share by way of resources, readings, prompts, feedback, etc. Her gentle spirit is a gift.
- Hilary Bilbury, Poet & Visual Artist

I would highly recommend this workshop. Trivarna creates a warm open environment in which to share thoughts and ideas, but also prompts you to dig deeper, and guides you in exploring your own experiences to create emotional resonance. She doesn't just tell, she shows.
- Jenny Wong, Poet & Essayist

It made me so happy to hear people read out their poems, and then, to see Trivarna, hang on every word, repeat them, send them into the universe, like prayers. To share your writing here is to have a meal, by a river, on a tree, the warmth of caring is felt no matter what. Gratitude and goodwill flow through this group. I will always be grateful for this space.
- Akriti Goel, Writer & Teacher
