Finding a Voice by Sharmistha Mohanty

Poetry Workshop

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to move beyond the layers of language conditioning in order to reconnect with yourself and discover your own unique voice.

This session is open to those who have some experience writing poetry or poetic prose.
Together, we’ll reflect on the concept of “voice”—what it means and how it manifests—and each participant will write a short poem as part of the process.
