About The Workshop
Silence your inner critic through mindfulness and improvisation. We’ll begin with playful improv exercises to warm up the body and mind, then dive into generative writing that may make you laugh, cry—or even pee a little. Readings may include Thich Nhat Hanh, Lucille Clifton, and June Jordan. No improv experience needed—just a willingness to say yes, and.
