CONFESSIONAL SERIES II
Four embodied poetry writing workshops Sept – Dec 2026,
Silk Mill West,
Saturdays 2-7pm
Curated & facilitated by Rebecca Dorothy Brewin
Our first series (April – July ’26) explored the ‘Confessional Poetry’ of the 1950’s & 60’s: a time of societal change and disillusionment when poets and artists felt a deep urge to move beyond abstraction and create from their direct experience. A shift in perception, influencing how we see our self, humanity and relationships today.
In this second series, on the thresholds of even greater collective change, in the face of such unknowns, how do we find new pathways for what we seek to express? What are our modern ‘confessions’?
As a group of maximum 8 people, we will continue to explore the body through movement practices and drawing; language through study of a range of writers and artists; questions on God and the planet through the lens of nature and the mystic traditions.
Are you a writer with an interest in developing your craft as part of a unique and nurturing group? I invite you to join me on this journey.
Four spaces currently available.
Dates: monthly Saturdays 2-7pm at Frome Art School, Silk Mill West:
- September 26th
- October 17th
- November 21st
- December 12th
I am a yoga-movement teacher and dancer, have an MA in poetry and have published two books. My poems offer a tool, a bridge, a torch in our human search for meaning and explore the questions and tensions that exist between communion and freedom.
