The Work Poetry Workshop: Saturday Afternoon Edition
June 12, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
$20Join us on the second Saturday of every month for The Work.
The Saturday Afternoon Edition of The Work takes place from 11:30am-2:00pm on the second Saturday of every month.
Upcoming Saturday afternoon workshops will take place on July 10 and August 14.
The Work is a drop-in poetry writing workshop for beginners as well as more experienced writers. Poetry encourages empathy and compassion, and sparks the shifts in consciousness which can lead to healing, personal growth, and an interest in fighting for progressive social change.
We will read and discuss poetry, write several new poems, and give each writer feedback on at least one of the drafts composed during the workshop.
The cost for the workshop is a suggested donation of $20 to Christopher Luna’s PayPal account: christopherjlun
“Suggested” means that we would like for you to join us regardless of whether or not you can afford it right now. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Bring a poem to share as a way of saying hello.
Please email Christopher Luna at christopherjlun
The Work also takes place from 6-8:30 pm on the second and fourth Monday of each month, unless otherwise noted.
These workshops will take place on Zoom until it is safe to do so again in person.
Upcoming Monday night workshops will take place on June 14 & 28, July 12, August 9 & 23. There will be no workshop on July 26.
