Poetry Day Ireland is an annual island-wide celebration of poetry taking place on Thursday May 1st, 2025 with the theme May Day! 

To celebrate the inspiration and healing power of poetry, I am offering a once-off Poetry Dive.

A Poetry Dive is an immersion in poems, music, movement and silence designed to take you beneath the surface and liberate the flow of your feelings and free your unique expression — through words, voice, body and sound.

The workshop begins with a meditation and is followed by a Poetry Dive that moves from movement to poems spoken by Lucia with powerful music, designed to allow you to lie back in the shamanic medicine of word and rhythm and allow your inner life to rise to the surface. The experience continues with spontaneous writing. This is followed by optional sharing in the group.

There are messages hidden inside poems that become alive to you as you hear, speak and take them into yourself. Through this immersion, we begin to discover and reveal more and more of of what our soul is longing to express, a journey to our most authentic self.

You don't need to be a poet, or even a lover of poetry to attend this workshop.

Inspired by the work of Kim Rosen (author Saved by a Poem) and many amazing poets, I invite you to dive with me and others as we journey together towards this path of self-discovery and awakening.
