Starve your ego, find your beast

Starve your beast, find your truth

Find your truth, find your peace

TESTIMONIALS

– “The entire community is insanely supportive. It seems crazy to call a group of strangers on a Zoom call a community, but to call it anything else would be a disservice. People are present, engaged, enthusiastic, supportive, vocal, and brave. This workshop, somehow, has attracted people that are invested in sharing their truth in its entirety through their work.”

– “We’re all in need of a reset. We’re all in need of an opportunity to be seen and heard and felt. I signed up for the poetry workshop hoping to find a creative spark, and I left with a great deal more.”

– “If anyone reading this is sitting on the fence about whether to take a workshop with In-Q…I’d say, don’t even think about 1 minute more….just jump in…..you will gain more than you ever imagine. Yes, you will write but you will also get to experience yourself and your writing in a whole new way. In-Q is a gifted guide, writer, teacher of writing and life. You will not be disappointed! “

FAQs

– Can I attend if I’ve never written poetry before?

The experience is for everyone regardless of writing experience! These workshops focus on self-expression and storytelling rather than the technical aspects of writing poetry. 

– What is the agenda of the workshop?

IN-Q will perform some poems to open the workshop. Then, he will give a writing prompt along with guidelines and specific instructions for the session. After a short writing window, participants can volunteer to share their personal poems with the group. The last portion is breakout rooms, in which people will share their poems 1-1 with another participant from the workshop. The content is often vulnerable and raw and the environment is overwhelmingly supportive. Come join us to discover the full experience! 

– Can I log in late or tune in & out of the workshop?

The workshop doors will close (virtually) 15min past the start time, in order to ensure the best possible experience and keep a focused and closed container. If you are running late, you can absolutely rewatch the workshop later and follow the writing prompts then. 

– What if I have to miss a workshop?

We will record the workshops and have them available to view privately.

– What is the refund policy?

You may ask for a refund up to 7 days after purchase of the ticket. 

– Are all ages allowed?

Yes, all ages are allowed and encouraged. Please bear in mind there can be profanity and adult subject matter throughout. 

– Are there any discounted tickets?
