Marsh, these workshops are a truth-telling experience through the media of spoken word encompassing life, love, self, justice, and the power of happiness and self-actualization.
Regular attendance is required to stay enrolled, and some classes may close enrollment after a few weeks even if the maximum has not been reached, as group projects or program content may have progressed too far.
Covid-19 safety measures: For all in-person sessions, temperatures will be taken upon entry and everyone (staff and participants) must wear a mask, wash & sanitize hands frequently, and remain socially distant. Class materials will be personal and kept separate, and the space will be cleaned and sanitized before and after every session. Masks and hand sanitizer and easy access to restrooms will all be provided, though participants are welcome and encouraged to wear their own reusable masks. Windows will be kept open as long as weather (and heat) permit. **If at any point the number of Covid-19 cases city-wide (or program-wide) requires a tighter lockdown, hybrid and in-person classes will shift to remote. **
