In early April 2020 the Embrace Circle had its inaugural workshop with participants from India, Turkey and the USA. Many in the group started as strangers but left connected.Manish Srivastava introduced us toEmbodied Poetry, where he integrates poetry, art andSocial Presencing Theatre to help participantstrans formt heir struggles into social art. Art is therapeutic by nature and by creating we felt open and renewed by the end of the process.Here is one of the group poems we co-created (edited by Manish).
First Group poetry
Overflow of deepening
Opening to the unknown.
For the first time whole planet is connected
Fear. Tenderness. Hope
Grateful and Feeling whole
Silencing the chaos and our selves
Coming back to what we have in the moment
Life slowed down for a second
Attending to health and loved ones at home
Crystal clear energy
Feet on floor
Timeless presence
In harmony with self
Bliss and beauty in this circle of compassion
Heart is filled with light
Humanity connecting and generating hope
2nd Group poetry
Want to move further
yet long for calmness
when calmness is empowered
I moves ahead effortlessly
What felt rebellious,
Has moved too
I am home.
pain, concerns, imbalance,
taking in all the outer pressure
I accept and let it flow
I am grounded
Oh what a beauty !
I surrender!
TO BLISS
