WORKSHOP MODELS
Workshops use immersive activities (online and in-person) as well as humor to help participants explore their creativity and verse. Interactive participation and collaboration online allows participants to weave poems simultaneously; bridging their outside world with our common human experience.
Poetry is a platform to give both voice and meaning to our experiences as well as a point of departure from which to lead in our own lives.
