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

Welcome! There are two types of online workshops/courses that I offer.

​One is the group workshops. Some are one-time, and some are series where we all start and end on a particular date; gathered in virtual video space for conversation, sharing, and writing.

The other 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.

​See what's offered for both, below.

Elegy
noun
1. a mournful, melancholy, or plaintive poem, especially a funeral song or a lament for the dead.
2. a poem written in elegiac meter.
3. a sad or mournful musical composition

We are surrounded by loss of some type but how do we process it, mourn it, even celebrate and honor it? In this live virtual workshop we will explore the life of elegies as a poetic form in today's time. By looking at and discussing classical and contemporary elegies (mostly contemporary), you will be guided into writing your own. 

​Over our two hours, we will discuss:
  1. Use and purpose of traditional elegies
  2. Similarities and differences between classical and contemporary elegies
  3. How and why to consider writing elegies today
  4. Our own approach to writing elegies ​
Let's take a look at our body: What we carry. How we hold it. What we fear. What we love and celebrate. What we think about "the body." What makes it come alive. How we care for it as its dying. What do we do when we bury it.

Whether you're
  • experiencing medical challenges or healing from an illness,
  • curious about your body, or the human body in general, or
  • lamenting over a body,
let's come to celebrate the nuances of the body through poetry. 

​Register today and you'll receive a packet of poems and Zoom link within a week before our session. These are not a critique workshops but where we will explore our relationship to our writing and wellbeing.

​​Becoming Undone: Unpacking Life's Weight​

Awakening Presence: Poetry As Spiritual Practice
​A four-week series to bring you closer to your spiritual side
"Divine Poetic Feminine:
​Using Poetry to  Awaken & Embody Your Feminine Energy"
​​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.
​
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. 
This soon-to-come online self-directed journey will allow you to access videos, poems, and prompts at your own pace designed to help you balance your natural feminine and masculine energy.
