    Chillaxation Creation: The magical art of poetry with Annie Bennett!


    Do you want to learn how to harness haikus, summon sibilance and craft caesura? This intensely exciting two hour workshop will liberate your poetic voice, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced writer.

    Come and join me as we journey deep into the wonderful world of poetry! During our adventure, we will travel (via guided meditation) into the wilderness and use our powerful poetic voices to share our experiences. Whatever your style (storyteller, rapper, crafter of sonnets, or yet unknown), this workshop is for you!

    All materials are provided. Just bring your imagination!
