A workshop by Marina Sànchez Cid, collaborator with Som provisionals.
Som provisionals is a non-profit cooperative that works for sovereignty over death, promoting self-management, collective empowerment, and community care for mourning, end-of-life, and farewell rituals. Marina Sànchez Cid is the author of the poetry collection La Montaña, and, together with Laura Poch, is also co-author of the illustrated story that bears the same name.

Free activity. Open to the general public. No prior registration is required.

Putting Mourning into Words is a creative writing workshop which draws participants closer to those things which they have left unsaid in the face of mourning. Using various writing exercises, participants will play with language, giving shape to emotions, memories, questions, and silences. Participants will use writing as a way of listening to their feelings, of letting words take them on a journey to places for which they as yet have no names.

In a space of trust, respect, and listening, participants may write and, if they wish, share their writings. Words that embody emotions, words that make room for absence, words that draw us closer to one who is no longer there. The living word, the word that takes shape.

What we will do

In this creative writing workshop, you can write about things you did not say while you were mourning.

You will do different writing activities. You can use words to express feelings, memories, questions, and things that are hard to say.

Writing can help you listen to your feelings. It can also help you explore feelings and thoughts that are hard to name.

The workshop will be a safe and respectful space. You can write and, if you want, share what you have written.

You can use words to express feelings and make space for someone who is no longer here.
