“Breathing better, breathing directly not only air but also light” – Gaston Bachelard

Breathe in, hold still, and breathe out. Breathing is what keeps us living and keeps us connected to ourselves and others. Breathing is all about collective liberation, togetherness, and care. Words are formed through the act of breathing. Poetry, breathing patterns, and the sensory world, are the supreme powers, the navigational tools through this laboratory is conceived. Through breathing exercises, and simple video tools to create your videos about the relationship between the breath and poetry, this workshop allows us to build the capacity to trust each other, experiencing collective trauma, and the final breathed poems make with all the participants are the expressive release that we need. The synthesis of poetry and video with social engagement. A new pathway towards connection and mutual aid, and encourages our nervous system to downshift towards a more balanced state. Join up! and let’s use video and poetry as a tool to experiment and empower yourself
