Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

- Mary Oliver

If you're a creative person, the answer to that Mary Oliver question is likely:

run in the pull of all that calls to your creative spirit.

So why not live the life that you secretly always knew you were meant to live?

  • I. Get Under a Reader's Skin: How to Write Poems that Haunt. Write Love Poems that Haunt. Do you dream of writing poems a reader CANNOT forget? That linger in their minds, long after they've read them? Do you want to write poems that haunt BECAUSE you've been haunted? Do you want your grief to be alchemised into a gift? In this workshop, we'll write poems that sneak up the skin of a reader. We will write love poems. Love poems that are subversive. Love poems that don't just kiss, but also bite and teethe and claw. Poems that can't be packed into squares of neat, sentimental boxes. This workshop series is a part of the writing community.

  • Here's what you'll learn: 1. Craft poems that create a lingering impact. That are subversive + achingly real. 2. Challenge conventional gender roles & norms through your writing. 3. Master the craft + technical tools of poetry: writing from the body & not just the mind, dream writing, using effective line breaks, finding the "duende" - the soul of your poem. 4. Turn your personal wounds into transformative, long-lasting art. This workshop is for you if: • You're haunted by loneliness, loss, or the "what ifs" of life. • You want to harness your pain and transform it into something beautiful and meaningful. • You're ready to write poems that are honest, vulnerable, and unforgettable.

What you Leave Behind when you Leave, Writing Workshop

Have you ever left someone? Have you wondered about what you may have left behind when you left a place or a person? Does it haunt you still? What have you taken with yourself of someone you left? What ways do they continue to stay on with you? Like a memory, a ghost, a wound, a shadow? If you have left someone or something midway: with things still unfinished, words still unsaid -these workshops are for you.

Kind Words from Workshop Members:

  • Trivarna has a knack for creating a beautiful creative environment all around. She gives us some of the most out of the box prompts. I especially benefited from her poetry classes - and ended up publishing two long poems that began during her workshop!

    - Alice S.

  • Take her classes if you want a full deep-dive into the world of poetry! She makes poetry so easy, fun and unforgettable. She made me want to experiment with so many different forms of writing forms, and write about every single theme I had ever wanted to write about! Go subscribe to her group and take her classes! It’ll be one of the best decisions of your life.

    - Priyanka K.

  • The best workshop I have attended all my life. Worth every penny and more. Her workshops are a safe space for me to process my emotions, all of them including grief. I came out not just a better writer, but a more healed person.
