Are you looking for a way to inject the power of poetry into an important conversation at your workplace, church group, neighborhood school, conference, nonprofit, corporation, or collective? Or maybe just  hoping to create some space to invite your community into more personal confidence, creativity and kindness?

The curriculum for any workshop can be modified to fit your group's unique needs. Elaina can also work together with you to frame an entirely new workshop if you're up for it.

NERDGASM: A four-hour poetry intensive to locate the inherent heat in nerdy craft and the nerdy craft inherent in heat (what do hot words and hot sex in common?  everything).

I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT A WRITER: A workshop for writers, and humans, in hiding.

BODYLOVE: In the journey toward self-love, writing can act as mirror, medicine bag, and lifeline. Through reading, facilitated discussion, and writing exercises, participants in the workshop will explore an honest spectrum, from body shame to BodyLove. 

POWERFUL WOMEN, POWERFUL VOICES: A writing workshop with a focus on being as loud (metaphorically, physically, creatively) as we were always & ever meant to be.

LGBTQ SERIES: Telling Our Stories | BodyLove; Dirty & Queer; Page to Stage: A series of themed writing workshops for LGBTQ community members.

EFFECTIVE ALLYSHIP: An overview approach to an anti-oppression framework, so that we can be better to each other and ourselves.

UNDOING HETEROSEXISM & HOMOPHOBIA: An interactive (even fun!) workshop, looking especially at the ways in which sexism and gender expectations are related to homophobia.

MANIFESTING SWEETNESS: A CREATIVE VISIONING WORKSHOP: The last time Elaina facilitated a version of this workshop, she got a phone call in the middle of it, announcing that she her first book would be published in the next year.  Holy, holy. This sh*t works!

WRITING FOR REJUVENATION: Designed especially for those who fear they are walking (or running) the path to burn-out. Tap in!

WRITIING AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: Explore writing as a tool for prayer, a mode of redemption, and a doorway to forgiveness. What do we do with tensions between identity and faith, oppression and Godliness? How do we write our way closer to a higher power – one who won't kick us out of any club for loving how we love, fighting how we fight, and arting how we art?  Folks of any/all spiritual persuasions are welcome.
