Please join us for a Spoken Word Poetry Workshop!  I am so excited to be facilitating this event as an opportunity for healing and joy in the face of everything that is going on in the world and in our personal lives. 

If you're interested in my "why" behind hosting this event, please check out this TED Talk!  While short for a TED Talk, it is about 13 minutes long, fair warning!  :)  I think it is worth the watch, though, otherwise I would not have shared it with you.  

Please do not think that you have to be "good at writing" or "good at poetry" or "creative" to attend!  In fact, I am designing this afternoon to be very friendly to people who have never explored Spoken Word Poetry as an art form before!  

We will do the following during our time together: 

We will create a very brief covenant to create a safe space for all. 

We will view some examples of Spoken Word and discuss what about them makes them "good."

We will have time to work on our own craft (poetry), pencils, pens, highlighters, paper and prompts provided!  

We will have a time for those who *want* to share to share at the end.  Participants are encouraged to share what they have created, but under no circumstances should you feel that this is a requirement!  

The primary goal of our time together will be to explore an art form (Spoken Word Poetry) that you may or may not have considered as art before.  This workshop will set you up with the tools you need to be able to craft your own writing, and hopefully that is something you can take with you to play with in the future! 

If you could let me know ahead of time if you plan on coming, that will help me know how many copies of things to have on hand! :)  If you decide to come last minute, no worries, there will be extra! 

See you on Saturday, March 7th, at GNUUC from 2pm-5pm! :)  Cookies provided!
