What people share about their experience...
"Being part of this consultation group, with gentle invitations to expeditions of my bodies, my imagines and understand further urgencies of care, needs, resonances, things to express, of the collective, in others, in me. I felt immediate possibilities to apply these findings and ideas to my current practices. The guidance of Poh and her offerings transcend the multilayering of spoken languages, sending invitations, questions.. building creative bridges to see, to be seen, to hear and be heard." iSaAc Espinoza Hidrobo - artist / trans activist www.isaacespinoza.eu
“As always, I never quite know what to expect, but the result is unusually delightful. What I love about the group offering is the thoughtful, poetic remarks by the other members which are like sparks of expansion. From all of this, I am learning that there is so much more room to play and create, which definitely defies the western model that I've been so conditioned to believe is the only right way. Yea, the great undoing. Thank you for everything.” Christine
"My experience with the multi-storied bodies consultation group can be described as expansive, playful, tender, moving, and novel. Poh offered a generous and hospitable space that was both grounding and uplifting all at once, allowing each of us within an international community to co-research with radical care and unapologetic curiosity. This group became a safe passage to re-appear, re-engage, and re-imagine our relationships with not only members of our physical bodies, but also our bodies of knowledge, spirituality, ancestry, music, movement, poetry, and more. The experience enriched my politics and practices both personally and professionally." Shuo Yuan www.sycounseling.com
“They feel very mysterious, magical, and nourishing in a way cooking at a party with new friends feels. You're the host, we're the
guests, and we're all here to cook and eat together—even if we don't know each other or what everyone is making, nor when or whether it will be ready to taste or share with anyone else. The point is we're sharing in the process together, and the questions you ask are somehow general and generative enough that we can all relate to them in some way that is meaningful to us. I feel very present and welcome and unselfconscious in the space you've created.“ Angeline www.angelinegragasin.com
"My body community has been so relieved, excited and filled with wonder to meet the ideas of multi stories bodies, with Poh. I treasure the conversations I get to have with various body communities on account of these precious ideas." Frankie
“It was a transformative space where I could bring forth old ideas for reviewing and shape new visions together with the group. It came to seep into all areas of how I am approaching my current projects- bringing in new life and inspiration and re imagining how things can look. What a deep process that I hope to continue when new workshops become available. Thank you so much to Poh and the other collaborators of this radical space we created.“ Gabrielle www.gabrielle-brady.com
"Multi-storied body consultation group was for me a place where curiosity, sharing, dialogue and co-research were headed towards new directions.A place where the exploration of the landscape of action opened new possibilities. A place where the question of "what is possible to know?" was articulated again from a different perspective and towards new directions." Yiannis Kafkas, Narrative Practitioner, Photographer
"Thank you for these beautiful sessions - it has been so helpful sharing and witnessing other women on their unique creative journeys and noticing intersections and wisdom that translates to us all, finding our way together - in community." Farrah, www.farrahdrabu.com
