  Find your voice through journaling
  A workshop by Susan Tiberghien

  SATURDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2024

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Our world today is in danger. Rilke in the 9th Elegy wrote, “Everything here apparently needs us… Speak and bear witness.” We have to speak up. We have to write up. It is in journaling that we find our voices, voices to call for justice, for peace. The workshop will have three parts: the practice of journaling, the writer’s voice, its importance today. We will write after each part, as we find and strengthen our voices. I hope to welcome many 'old' friends and meet 'new' friends!

  
  

  Time:   10am to 12 followed by a cocktail in celebration of the instructor’s birthday!

  
  

  Venue: Les Aiglons - Genève

  Parc des Aiglettes 3

  1293 Bellevue

  Train stop Genthod-Bellevue

  Then 4 minutes walk (Underground parking available)

  The GWG Presents:

  Jonathan Edwards

  “So this is how we love”: Poems about people

  
  

  For poets of all abilities, writing about someone important – a family member, friend, love interest – can be a royal road to generating a poem of real emotional impact. During this workshop, we’ll look at a range of highly effective structures for framing our feelings about people. From work to hobbies to anecdotes to important places, there are so many ways into writing about people, and the workshop will brim with as many ideas as it can fit. By the end, you should have something which says something important about someone important, which does the magic poems can, of making someone feel.
  

  Where: Maison Internationale des Associations, rue des Savoises 15, 1205 Geneva. 

  Time: 10:30-16:30

  10:30 - 13:00 Workshop | 14:00 - 16:30 Critiquing session
