The Story Unspoken: Evoking the Poetry Within

Join us for an evening of somatic inquiry, embodiment, and creative expression. Led by spoken-word poet Louis Rhian and integrative somatic facilitator Raquel Minh, this is not your typical writing workshop. Together, we will embark on a 90-minute journey inward, leaning into your deeper, unseen experience and translating it into the written word.

Event Details:
Explore the internal stories you carry in a space that nurtures connection, embodiment, and authentic self-expression. Through gentle somatic inquiry and guided writing exercises, you will learn to track the felt sensations, images, and emotions alive within your body, listening to your inner landscape and giving shape to the unspoken.

No prior experience in poetry, creative writing, or somatic practices is needed.

Guided by Louis’s passion for unlocking creativity through words, from running Auckland’s The Writers Circle to facilitating writing workshops with tamariki and Raquel’s expertise as a trauma-informed somatic facilitator, yoga teacher, and plant medicine guide, you will be supported in safely connecting with and expressing your inner world.

A pen and a notebook or journal. Come dressed in comfortable clothing that allows you to sit, move, and settle easily into your body.
