Poetry as A Portal: A Cathartic Writing Workshop

Wednesday, 28 May 2025     ||      6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Magickal Gem, Observatory, Cape Town       ||       Donation-Based Offering

Join us for an evening of gentle transformation through the power of poetry, intuitive reflection, and mindful connection.

This unique, donation-based workshop offers a safe and sacred container to explore the hidden nooks and crannies of the self — those past pains quietly living in our bodies and subconscious. Together, we'll use poetry and creative writing as tools of release, expression, and alchemy.

To support our nervous systems and open creative channels, we’ll be offering calming alchemical mocktails as an add-on to begin your evening with soothing energies, designed to awaken intuition. Guided prompts will weave together elements of art therapy and poetic flow, inviting you to access deep emotional landscapes and let them pour out onto the page.

Whether you’re new to writing or have been journaling for years, this space welcomes you exactly as you are. Come as you are, write what you feel, and leave a little lighter.

What to expect:

• A nurturing, non-judgmental space.
• Guided writing exercises rooted in somatic awareness and emotional release.
• Calming herbal mocktails to calm & inspire.
• Optional sharing circle.
• ???? Open to all levels – no poetry experience needed.

This is a donation-based event to kick off the first of many poetry workshops. Your contribution, however small or generous, supports the creation of more spaces like this.

Let your words become the medicine you didn’t know you were carrying.

Big love,

Catharsis Art Team
