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?

Some questions we'll explore in a safe space: I. Can desire be a form of prayer? What binds your child self to your adult self? 2. What threads tiny desires to bigger ambitions? What chain exists for example, between your hunger for a childhood candy bar & your wild want for freedom? This workshop is not just about having desires, it's about honoring the PROCESS of desiring. Your desires needn’t be ‘productive’ to be justified. Desire is a part of being HUMAN.

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!

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.

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.
