Ellie Brooks

Ellie Brooks is a plus size, neuro-sparkly, larger-than-life performance poet, writer and storyteller bringing equalist, feminist and environmentalist issues to the fore with bear-hug-warmth, quirky humour and lyrical flair. 

She is a firm believer that art can (and will!) change the world, and that every individual brings unique artistic gifts just waiting to be explored and nurtured for the nourishment of our global community and our planet. 

She is the proud founder of Earth Kin Events (www.earthkinevents.co.uk) a Dorset-based ritual theatre company nourishing authentic connections through story, ceremony, poetry and song. 

Trained in the art of oral storytelling with the ‘Seven Bones’, Ellie can be found most often reclaiming women’s voices in the reimagining of traditional myths and legends, as well as creating new folktales to heal old wounds.  

Winner of both the Frome Festival and Purbeck Valley poetry slams 2023, she thrives in consciously creative spaces, and already can’t wait to connect with more like-minded souls. 

Workshop 1

Art Re-LOVE-ution with Ellie Brooks (18 years plus)

Your art can save the world . . . if you let it! 

(A workshop for every creative who has ever shamed themselves out of making art.)

No, being creative is not a waste of time! No, being creative is not selfish, self-indulgent, childish or irrelevant . . . and YES, the world wants and needs you to create now more than ever in these times. 

Since before the dawn of time, the peoples of earth have looked to their dreamers, sensitives, visionaries, painters, crafters, poets, musicians and players as prophets, healers and wisdom keepers of the collective unconscious; as those who not only reflect the muddly mirror of the present back to us in ways that make sense, but those who can help us to change our futures… If we can dream it, we can redeem it. 

Join relentless joy-monger Ellie Brooks on a whirlwind adventure to dismantle the toxic-capitalist nonsense plaguing your inner artist, re-story your soul and embrace the re-LOVE-utionary within.

Workshop 2

Poetry Soup (all welcome, though some fruity language may occur) 

There is a cookbook with explicit step-by-step instructions for solving the climate crisis, healing every heart on the planet and weaving a lasting world peace: here’s the catch – it just hasn’t been written yet. 

It’s time to cook up the books – and not in a ‘don’t mention my offshore bank account’ kind of way. . . 

Join spoken-word wildling Ellie Brooks in the forest of epic imaginings as we forage for the ingredients to make the perfect poetical recipes to save ourselves and the world. 

Taking inspiration from nature and each other we will each create our own lyrical recipe, and add it to the cook-book of the anti-apocalypse.

The wild heart is you, your time is now; unleash the poet deep within and let the dreaming big begin!
