This workshop is for DISABLED, CHRONICALLY ILL, IMMUNCOMPROMISEd, &/OR NEUROSPICY FOLKS especially if you are still covid cautious!

OH the love and care we've missed. Just trying to survive.

This poetry workshop is for us. Left behind. Us. Having found out our best is not enough to survive. Us. Who know the answer is in each other, together. Who deserve it all. Us. Creating the kind of worlds and relationships that are honored to have us. Celebrating our very being.

Come with yearning, your heartbreak, your optimism, your futures, your spicy feels *star emoji*
