SELF AND UNSELF -  UNCOVERING BIOPHILIA 

​

To celebrate our upcoming BIOPHILIA submission window, we warmly invite you to the garden, the warren, the desert of your selves with our three part workshop series, SELF AND UN-SELF - UNCOVERING  BIOPHILIA 

 

Over three weeks beginning on May 29, we will take you into three personal and natural environments 

 

Week 1: new terrain, writing radical geographical poetry

Where do you go, when you Un-Self?

What does your wilderness look like/feel like/smell like/taste like/sound like?

 

Week 2: heron smoke, owl mask, the eco-mystic principals

What does it mean to love the world in a non-possessive sense? 

Can you tune in to the empathy of trees? 

 

Week 3: human animal, returning the human to the wild 

What does it mean to be animal? 

What can we learn from animals?

 

These interactive events will include poetry and prompts with many opportunities to write 

 

We will offer unique, somatic exercises to embody your writing and uncover new ways of seeing and knowing nature in an experimental and daring way

 

Our editor Jai Michelle Louissen is heading up the event in collaboration with our contributing editors, Victoria Spires, Vikki C and Marcelle Newbold and Rebecca Kendle.  Jai Michelle has spent her working life in the field of embodiment and in the nature conversation and can touch perhaps new insights and inner turnings you might not have made before. 

 

The total cost of the workshops is 60 uk pounds and can be paid to our paypal address thewingedmoonmagazine@gmail.com. Please write to us to confirm your attendance to the same mail address including a screenshot of your payment and we will register you for the event. 

 

We begin at 8pm CEST with each workshop running around 1hr and 30 mins

 

We will record each session if you are not able to attend the live event

 

We have created these events to inspire writing for our next issue and to raise funds for our magazine. It is our wish to pay our writers as we recognise the value of talent that is submitted to us, and to make some necessary updates to our website. As a volunteer run publication we are looking to create ways to sustain ourselves, and deeply appreciative of your support.
