Poetics at the Palace: Workshop
Saturday 25 September, 4pm
Spoken Word workshop facilitated by @kilhapoetry.
Mae Kilha (pictured, right) is a London-born poet and psychotherapeutic counsellor as well as being the driving force behind Poetics in Waterloo, a Poetry Open Mic platform.
This afternoon, Kilha will facilitate a special ‘inner child’ workshop - a therapeutically guided, safe environment for the words of attendees' own personal inner child.
Poetics' main objective is to provide a safe space for new poets to interact with more established poets, offering a supportive environment for their journeys. Poets touch on topics of oppression, explore personal and sometimes difficult emotions, empowerment and ways of navigating this great thing called life.
Workshop attendees will have a free ticket to and an opportunity to show their work at the live poetry performances evening event later that night at 8pm.
