Crossroads: Honoring the In-Betweens

6 week writing workshop with Tristan Richards & Carson Elliot

Mondays, 7:30-9:30 pm CDT, September 11 - October 16

Crossroads: Honoring the In-Betweens

Everyone has found themselves at a crossroads in life at one point or another. You may have lost or left a dream job, experienced heartbreak, graduated college, had a child, or experienced any number of major life changes that have brought you to this moment.

The questions “where do I go now?” or “what am I supposed to do next?” may be at the front of your mind. There may be a sense of going somewhere but not having a map or swimming in an open ocean looking desperately for shore.

Let’s explore and honor those feelings through writing and find the route back to ourselves.

Join co-facilitators and poets Tristan Richards, author of Not All Challenges Are For Us and Carson Elliot, author of Celestial Bodies: A Year of Transgender Love Letters on a six week journey navigating the in-between places in life culminating in a communal showcase.

Write poems, build community, and center your internal compass to what serves you best.

This workshop is open to writers of all experience levels & payment plans are available upon request.
