WORKSHOPS
All of our workshops center the well-being of the writer with the incorporation of grounding tools such as meditation, yoga, affirmation-work at the beginning or through out the workshops.
Rebirths & Reclamations
Through the process of reintroduction, we are reborn and reclaim our personal power. It is through this particular process one is released from their past and can exhibit the colors of growth. Through the works of Lauryn Hill and Lucille Clifton, we engage in introspective writing exercises to reexamine our current realities. Throughout this workshop, we abandon the attributes of ourselves that are bounded to survival and make way for the flourishing human beings we are at our essence.
