All workshops/courses offered are created and lead by Jacinta V. White unless otherwise noted. 

​There are two types of online workshops/courses that I offer. One is the self-paced where you immediately have access to the material that comes with that course, including audio or video recordings, and you work at your own pace. The other is the group workshops where we all start and end on a particular date; and gather in virtual video space for conversation, sharing, and writing.

​See what's offered for both, below.

​A workshop for youths interested in crafting their own stories and exploring the untold stories of others. 

Are you a rising 8th, 9th, or 10th grade student with a story to tell?

Are you wanting to learning how to transform your journal-writing or stories you've heard into columns and personal essays? 

Maybe you want to learn more about a family member, friend or someone in your community? 

Are you looking for ways to develop your writing before going back to school? 

Do you want to know tips that journalists use to get the best story? ​

On Place
A three-part live generative series that looks at the importance of place for the poet and for the poem. 

​Meets virtually
​with Jacinta White
Sundays, October 11, 18, 25
1:00-2:30 p.m. EST

Do you find yourself riding down a road that calls you to want to explore it-- its past or present?

Do you remember a place that you have been urging to write about?

Have you ever wanted to slow down just long enough to engage with others in a conversation about place and poetry?

If so, join me for discussion on the importance of place for the poet and the poem.

In this 3-part series we will:
  • examine select poems that explore place and its symbolism
  • talk about what place means to us as writers and how we are inspired by it
  • be inspired to look at place more critically ​

​Writing the Ancestors: A Journey to Our Roots
​A four-week live workshop series for Blacks, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
​
Meets virtually
​with Jacinta White
​DATE TBA SOON
​​Limited Space 


​Let's re-record the narrative! Give a new, fresh voice to re-tell our history, our way! In this generative live workshop, I will take you through what I learned in my research for my book, "Resurrecting the Bones: Born from a Journey Through African American Churches & Cemeteries in the Rural South."

Whether you're writing poetry, a short story, a novel, or creative non-fiction, I will provide tools that will inspire you to dig a little deeper...into your creative genius, archives/historical documents, what you know, and what more you want to know. ​​

​Self-Paced
​


​"Becoming Undone: Unpacking Life's Weight" 
​A five-week series for those stressed-out and desperately needing to unload 

Unless you begin to re-write your story, it will remain the same. Over five sessions, you will be guided to look at what is burdening you and why, how to acknowledge it and address it (if only to yourself), how to begin to heal and move forward, and how to re-imagine and prepare for what's new. Of course, poetry will be at the center of your exploration. Videos guide each session.

"Awakening Presence: Poetry As Spiritual Practice"
​A four-week series to bring you closer to your spiritual side

Art has a way of bringing us closer to our natural, authentic self, and it is there we can find the peace and presence of God*. This four-week series takes you through contemporary poems that help you to see, question, and honor your relationship to your spiritual self. No matter your religion or beliefs, this workshop inspires you to take more time to slow down, be present, and attentive to yourself and the things that make you whole. Audio of poems come with each session.
