The Monsters we Make our Friends: How Poetry Can Bring You Back to Yourself.
A creative and explorative poetry workshop with Queer Poet Karlee Campbell.
This is a discussion-based and interactive workshop, that is for anyone who is looking for a safe space to explore and express themselves. No prior poetry or writing experience is required to participate. This workshop is designed to help you get started in a medium that you aren’t familiar with, or to build upon what you already know.
During this workshop, we will spend time together asking the hard questions, finding a place to start, and getting through the dark, mucky beginnings with a like-minded community. Karlee will share a few tips, and a whole lot of laughs.
In a group setting, we will unlock the stories that live inside all of us, and support each other in taking the next step to putting that out into the world. The overall theme of this workshop is how to access what is inside you, find your voice, and learn a medium to express it.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or are on day 1, this workshop has something for everyone. All supplies will be provided, so just bring your fabulous self!
Tickets are $55. Registration required, here.
At The Halifax Discovery Center, 1215 Lower Water Street in Program Room B.
