WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose). Click the colored tabs below to show only specific options. Our workshops run as multi-session series or one-day “intensives.” Note, we list the multi-session courses on the first day they meet only. The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

Leading a Creative Workshop
Saturday, July 22, 12:30-2:30
IN PERSON
Are you a teaching artist ready to build community and learn new tips and tricks to engage participants in your workshops? In this intensive, we will focus on ways to incorporate prompts, worksheets, readings, and videos, learn new generative exercises, emphasize process over product, create brave learning spaces for participants, and find a balance between independent working time, discussion, and lecture. Perfect for teachers, after-school programs, community events, and more!
