I’m pleased to announce I’ll be teaching a poetry workshop for the International Women’s Writing Guild on Saturday, December 13 from 1 – 3:30pm ET.

This virtual poetry workshop invites participants to explore the intersection of sensory awareness and personal identity as creative catalysts. Through guided readings, reflective prompts, and open discussion, writers will deepen their connection to both body and self, discovering new ways to express authentic experiences and perspectives. The session fosters a supportive environment for experimentation, self-discovery, and the development of a unique poetic voice for beginners to advanced poets.

Registration is $50 for this 90-minute workshop and helps to support this non-profit with the mission to “embrace the power of words to bring people together, bridge differences, and deepen understanding. Through storytelling, we honor the past, engage with the present, and shape the future—creating a space where all voices are heard, valued, and respected.” Makes a great gift for poet friends!
