In this class, we will reflect on our lives and special experiences from our personal history. We will examine what stories we want to give to those around us.

In this class, we’ll be creating 6-word stories about an alternative future.

In this class we will let go of judgment and draw with the intention of experimenting and accepting what we create.

Using the concept of a still life from visual art, we will translate a collection of objects into poetry. This class will train your eye to see beyond the object - to all that has happened to create it.

Bring your imagination to this class on story writing. Adriana will walk you through writing warm-ups and how to set-up a story. Then, we will breakdown the main parts of a story, building towards a climactic moment and a moral. This is a nice class to do after you’ve done the “Character Creation” class with Adriana, although it is not required or necessary. Let’s get writing!

We will create stories and poems by eliminating words from a news article. This form of creating will then inform our reflections on our own stories and histories.

Connect with the present moment and your experience of your own body, utilizing poetry as the language to communicate through. Body mapping and the haiku form are meant for participants of all levels.
