Gullah Art Gallery: Do You, Boo! Writing a Self-Proclamation Poem

May 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Pack your bags and get ready for a meditative pilgrimage at the Gullah Art Gallery on May, 20th with creative citizen Susan Madison. Using a combination of mudra poses (symbolic hand gestures that work similar to yoga) and guided meditation, you’ll commune with your higher self to create a self-proclamation poem.

Since the beginning of written language, writers have written self-expression poems. These poems are expressive vessels of one’s personality and symbolic prayers of thanks to the God that created us.

Susan Madison is an activist, author, poet and visual artist whose themes’ focus on feminine liberation, racial equity, and spirituality. Madison’s writings have been published in national anthologies, a Chicken Soup for the Soul series and local newspapers and magazines. Susan studied Creative Writing and Poetry at Columbia College of Liberal Arts in Chicago and Antioch University.

Saturday, May 20th, 10am to Noon, at The Gullah Art Gallery.

This is a FREE workshop open to the public for ages 21 and up brought to you by The Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Space is extremely limited.
