Absolutely! Whether for youth (age 12+) or adults, these workshops are age-appropriate and tailored to your community or organization’s specific age group.
Can participants engage in these workshops other than writing?
Of course! Past participants have participated by drawing, scrapbooking, and collaging. Other ways to participate can look like: visual arts, filmmaking, dance, etc. The goal of these workshops is to support your personal creativity and voice, so whatever medium best supports participants’ creative process is welcome! If you aren’t sure your creative process can be supported in these workshops, please reach out!
Are these workshops virtual or in-person?
These workshops are available both online and in person. For in-person sessions held outside of my immediate area, travel expenses may need to be reimbursed or included in the final pricing—we can discuss details based on location.
Can you include yoga in these workshops?
Yes! These workshops already include grounding activities to support participants with settling into the space and engaging their five senses for the creative process. However, yoga sessions can be incorporated upon request to offer participants a holistic experience that nurtures both body and creativity.
If you’d like yoga built into your workshop, please indicate this in the interest form.
