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.

Writing the Ancestors
Two-part live, online series June 2022 Let's re-record the narrative! Give a new, fresh, truthful voice to retelling your history, your way! In this 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" to help you craft your own collection based on your ancestral research and voices. We're talking oral history, research tools, spirituality & ritual (practices), and tips to deepen how you listen and how you write.

Life of Elegies
Two-part live, online series August 2022 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.

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.

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.
