Small Poems, Big Meaning: A Generative Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

September 12th, 2026

$57 More Info

Poetry doesn't have to be long, complicated, or intimidating. Sometimes a few carefully chosen words can hold an entire story, a moment of wonder, or a truth waiting to be discovered.

In this one-day generative workshop, we'll explore the power of writing small. Through guided prompts, accessible poetic forms, and opportunities for sharing, participants will experiment with brief writing that captures moments, images, and insights with clarity and care.Whether you're new to poetry or a seasoned writer, you'll leave with several small pieces and a renewed appreciation for how much meaning can live in just a few lines.No prior poetry experience required.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition can be credited towards a future class if the student withdraws 14 days prior to the beginning of the start of the class and must be used within one (1) year of receipt. There is also no refund for individually missed classes.

Gathering the Harvest: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

October 17th, 2026

$57 More Info

Autumn invites us to pause and take stock. What has grown? What has ripened? What are we ready to gather and carry forward?

In this reflective writing workshop, we'll use seasonal imagery, guided prompts, and shared reflection to explore the harvests of our lives. Together we'll consider what has nourished us, what lessons have emerged, and what we may be ready to release as the seasons shift.

This workshop is less about productivity and more about acknowledgment. It is an opportunity to honor where you've been and notice what is ready to come with you into the next season.

 

CANCELLATION POLICY: Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition can be credited towards a future class if the student withdraws 14 days prior to the beginning of the start of the class and must be used within one (1) year of receipt. There is also no refund for individually missed classes.
