This Sunday Assembly, we will learn how poetry can become a powerful tool for expression and healing. Led by Claudia Colella, a humanistic-integrative counsellor and somatic therapist, this session draws on her work using poetry within her therapeutic practice to help give voice to experiences that are often hard to put into words.

Blending insight from contemporary neuroscience with techniques such as Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and sophrology, Claudia's talk explores the ways poetic language can engage both mind and body - supporting nervous system regulation, deepening self-awareness, and opening up new methods of connecting with ourselves and others.

Sunday Assembly London is your regular and reliable stop for a welcoming, accessible and inspiring Sunday community, where you can hear talks and poetry, sing songs and make new friends.

Stay after for tea, biscuits, and chat in the Backyard Comedy Club. Then join us for a local meal, picnic, or a drink and board games at the pub.
