Programs

While our workshops are framed within the context of writing, they embrace an interdisciplinary approach that integrates philosophy and various art forms. Our participants, who often excel in multiple creative domains, have included dancers, sculptors, photographers, painters, collage artists, poets, playwrights, essayists, architects, anthropologists, grief doulas, carpenters, lawyers, and philosophy professors. We welcome both beginners and experts of diverse ages and backgrounds from around the globe, both in-person and online.

This rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives enhances the depth and complexity of our
discussions and the work produced.

Our collaborative explorations, including our collective musings and creative digressions, have inspired visual artists to engage in writing and many writers to venture into other non-literary artforms. We believe that bridging different mediums can be both generative and inspiring in unexpected ways and we integrate this philosophy into our own practices.

Our virtual programs are typically 4-6 weeks, with sessions in the spring, summer and fall. We meet twice per week for 2 hours via Google Meet.

The days and times for these meetings are chosen collectively by the students via a poll in the application in order to make each program work around the lives of its participants. Students will also have access to a Canvas virtual classroom where they can engage with others, the material, and discussion threads at their own convenience and as much as they desire. All reading materials and other media will be provided.
