Constraint As Opportunity: Cultivating a Sustainable Creative Practice As Life Lifes

with Charity E. Yoro

SATURDAY, MARCH 28 - 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST

Whatever season of life, there will likely always be something threatening to disrupt one’s creative practice—whether it is the responsibilities of childrearing or other forms of caregiving, health challenges, career demands, and/or the accumulative impact of the ills and injustices of the world at large. What would it look like to sustain a healthy, committed creative practice amid life’s many interruptions? How can we, perhaps, utilize these constraints to further strengthen our writing?

Join Charity E. Yoro, award-winning poet and parent of two, for a two-hour connective, generative space where writers of all levels and genres may attune to and further develop their individual creative practice. In this co-created experience, we will explore techniques to help nourish and flourish your writing using mindfulness exercises, collaborative art-making, short readings, writing prompts, and other dynamic approaches.
