New Course: Well Beings – Writing the body through illness and pain – with Marieke Bigg

A six-week online writing course to help you draw lessons from your experience of your own body. For anyone struggling with their body in some way.

For anyone who has felt let down by or is coming to terms with their own body. We will take inspiration from artists and writers who have taken ownership of their bodies. All bodies give life, but no body is limitless. Some of those limitations are inherent to the body itself, may be caused by illness or disability; others come from the ways that our bodies position us in society. In this course, we will write about our bodies to understand what our confrontations with the body’s limits can show us about who we are, who we want to be, how we want to be, and how we want the world to be.

In the sessions, I hope to cultivate critical care, support, listening and a sense of community. I will work hard to, along with participants, create a safe and nourishing space in which we are able to respond to the diverse experiences and evolving needs of anyone taking part in the sessions.
