Taal se taal mila - Rhythm of our Stories
We write because for those few minutes, our heart, mind, body and spirit align.
Everything, everyone has a rhythm within them.
Society thrusts an external rhythm upon us.
10th, 12th, IIT-JEE, CAT, GMAT.
Marriage, honeymoon, baby.
Job, promotion, early retirement.
Rinse and Repeat.
Our heart craves meaning.
Our bodies want to move.
Our mind desires play.
The spirit seeks awe.
We write because for those few minutes, our heart, mind, body and spirit align.
We write because we discover our unique rhythm in our words, voices, silences.
Truth-telling brings relief. Shame dissolves. Joy multiplies.
But sometimes, an exhaustion sets in. Critical thoughts freeze our expression. We fall silent because of the noise in our head. We seek a whole new rhythm to writing and life.
This is why we envisioned The Rhythm of our Stories with Raju and Vimal.
A workshop for writers to rejuvenate their creative energy.
Raju’s magic tools expands our power through playful and poetic wordplay.
Vimal brings Urdu, performance, and his remarkable journey as a poet.
We have had two stunning cohorts so far. Writers were nervous at the beginning.
Then words began to hoola-hoop.
Lines blurred between prose and poetry. Writers took risks that left us awestruck. We laughed till our cheeks hurt.
Join us this summer for a mesmerizing journey.
4 joy filled, writing sessions spread over two weekends
Weeklong practice to access the poetic state of mind
Revive the languages of our life
Awaken the poetry in our body
Pluck idioms and metaphors from our surroundings
