Please note that this is an online workshop conducted via Zoom. Participants will be provided information on how to join the online sessions.

This workshop is for K-12 educators and is tuition-free.

Amidst the current crises, educators find themselves thrust into a wave of surreal expectations and demands. At times it can be difficult to find a moment to process and reflect, let alone hone our creative abilities.

This workshop offers a space to build a supportive community via the process of transforming our daily reflections through the vehicle of several poetic forms. Sessions will include reflective generative exercises which will serve as the basis for poetic works. Though our main objective will focus on generating work, time will also be allotted for workshop and exchange.
