A generative writing journey with Maria Garcia Teutsch

What are the conduits to the divine within oneself?  In this guided writing experience, each participant will be invited to journey into their emotions through the trigger of the writing prompts. We will use these responses as an agent for accessing the innermost workings of our psyches both collective and individual. This workshop goes beyond the usual axis points to enchantment: love, sex, food, psychedelics, wine, art, dance, music, etc, and into the inner workshop of one’s own divinity, which in turn can create a channel from which to open the pathways to all sentient beings. Our personal histories are singular and yet draw upon all areas of matter-energy. Amidst this chaos how can we come to understand ourselves and our place in the continuum? We will turn to poetry as a way to generate meaning from events that may in themselves remain meaningless unless we begin the process of unraveling.

In the mythopoetic register of self-understanding we find no singular events, but confluences of meaning.

The writings from this workshop will be the basis for a potential flow of poems, stories, plays, films, essays and songs each participant can then create by channeling the emotions perhaps long held dormant, but which can be teased out through our writing.

“The currents of history move in the direction of self-understanding, but the idea of what self-understanding means changes too. The historical-semiotic object is geared towards a mythopoetic concept of history. Mythopoetic history aims to understand humanity in terms of the stories we tell, the knowledge we gather, and the ways we use that knowledge to continue to direct flows of matter-energy. The flow of history, and the historical-semiotic objects that it produces, become the Every-New Tongue, whispering the mysteries of creation in our ear, as it shows the insufficiency of the known when compared to the ineffability of life.
from Infinite Signs, A Historical Semiotic, by River Atwood Tabor
