CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Our classes and workshops offer a wide range of creative experiences—from generative writing sessions and storytelling practices to trainings in creative facilitation and sustainable artistry. Each program is designed to help you connect inward with your creative voice and outward with a supportive community, blending self-discovery with artistic expression in meaningful, lasting ways.
How does the Enneagram relate to creativity? And how can it fuel our creative process? In this series, we’ll use the Enneagram, a wisdom tradition that has long been employed as a tool for deep personal growth, to engage with and transform our creative practice.
Our sessions together will include a teaching portion, lively discussion time, and prompts and activities to get you exploring how the Enneagram can feed your creativity. Each week will be themed, and you can join us at any time – monthly session for specific Enneagram deep-dives, or the comprehensive full three-month series. Drop into any or all of it as you’re able!
Wednesdays in June, from 11:00am-1:00pm EST
June’s Focus: The Gut Triad
📍ONLINE delivered via ZOOM
Facilitated by Ali McGhee
What if, at the edge of change, we are not lost—but standing at the threshold of a story waiting to be told? In this six-week online class, we’ll step into the landscape of fairy tales—where the ordinary becomes enchanted, where transformation is inevitable, and where meaning is carried through symbol, archetype, and image. Together, we’ll wander beyond the limits of linear thinking and into the rich terrain of personal mythology, where new ways of seeing—and being—begin to take shape.

This four-week workshop is for writers of all genres and skill levels and will provide writing prompts, weekly assignments, and resources for creating your own ekphrastic work beyond this workshop.
We will use ekphrasis, an ancient literary tool, to play with words by responding to art of various genres — paintings, sculpture, film, music, etc. — through poetry and prose. This workshop will inspire you to generate ideas and new material that may later become polished projects.
