This class is a 5 session series from 9:00-11:00 AM on Saturdays, May 6, 13, 20, 27, and June 3.

About the Class: This poetry class is designed with joy in mind. Learn to flow with writing as a means for deep self-expression. Great for new and experienced poets. Each week will be a fun and fruitful exploration into the ways we communicate and relate with the world and each other. Students have the option to perform a reading of their poetry on June 17 at the ArtSmart Stories & Poems Performance at the Trout Lake Hall. Adults ages 18+ welcome.

About the Instructor: Ash Wylder has been writing and publishing her work since 2010. She integrates the cross sections of a deep passion for neuroscience, skill development, and mind-body connection into all of her coursework. She is a life-long lover of language with a run-amok imagination and pens as often as inspiration hits. She is deeply familiar with the creative practice of making something that is reader-ready and writing for the joy of it. No matter where your blocks come up, she can teach you, step-by-step, how to unlock them in trauma-sensitive and neuroscience-backed ways. She has performed, published, and taught for 7+ years.
