You'll be surprised at the deep community that is formed in these workshops. They are not competitive; they are a sanctuary. I believe we never write alone, and in all of my workshops, this is deeply true. What would you create it you trusted that your art is well supported.

These are not your average workshops. Two decades of teaching and writing have shaped my approach, which is rooted in my belief that when we make art, we're exercising the muscles we need to help repair the world. I love to hold space and foster transformation, both on and off the page.

Generative writing is a practice of welcoming first thoughts, listening, and learning to trust ourselves and our ideas. I create generative writing prompts that propel writers forward and feel like magic. They offer inspiration and direction, helping writers clear blocks and take more risks on the page.

Whether you're looking to start or finish a project or you just want more creativity in your life, these workshops will support you. Writing regularly, in community, will remind you why you love to write. Tend your creativity. It belongs to you. It’s your birthright.

What if your art is helping repair the world? What if every time we make something -- a sentence, a painting, a garden -- we're remembering it's possible to introduce something new into the world? Which means we're connecting to our agency. The world is made, and it can be unmade and remade to be more just and life-giving. Writing helps us remember that.

Generative writing is about freedom and permission. It helps you break through limitations and practice trusting your ideas and yourself. It's also about leaving perfectionism behind. The better we get at withholding judgment and tending our ideas, the more ideas will visit us.
