Workshops & Residencies
what to expect
Poetry that opens something up
My workshops go beyond craft instruction. They create space for participants to find and use their own voice — especially people who've been told their story doesn't count. I work in writing, performance, and reflection, weaving them together into sessions that participants leave differently than they walked in.
A single session can stand alone as a powerful introduction to spoken word. Multi-week residencies go deeper — building community around writing, rehearsing performance, and ending in a culminating reading. I adapt to the group, the setting, and the goals.
I work with survivors, students, elders, incarcerated people, young people in crisis, and everyone in between. The work is trauma-informed, grounded, and real.
Formats
Single Session
60–90 minutes — ideal as an introduction or one-time event
Workshop Series
3–6 sessions over several weeks — builds community and craft
Residency
Multi-week, deep engagement — includes culminating performance or reading
Starting at $500
This is an opening number, not a fixed quote. I scope each engagement — group size, number of sessions, travel needs — before settling on a final fee. Out-of-state travel is fully available and won't automatically price you out.
