What will be covered in this workshop?

Dive into the whimsical world of “Starfish Serenade: Writing the Surreal” – where the only limit is your imagination, and even that is up for debate! Unleash your inner wordsmith in this cosmic adventure that promises to be more mind-bending than a rubber duck in zero gravity.

Picture this: Mermaids sipping chai lattes with intergalactic giraffes, time-traveling unicorns discussing the meaning of life, and alien poets reciting epic poetry in Smell-o-Words. Don’t worry if your reality-check engine is in the shop – here, we prefer to take it out for a joyride!

What Participants Will Take Away

• Make the strange grounded and real.
• At least 3 beginnings to new pieces.
• Prompt ideas that can be reused many times.

There will be an optional opportunity to share.

Suitable for all levels.

What is the Crow Collective?

Crow Collective workshops are by the writing community, for the writing community. The prices are low so they are more accessible, and there are two free spots (if needed).

Why can't I access the ticket button using the Apple Eventbrite app?

This is a decision on Eventbrite's part. You should be able to access the ticket button using the website instead. If you're still having troubles, feel free to get in touch.

Where did the free tickets on Eventbrite go?

No worries, the free tickets still exist. There's a long explanation below, but the short version is: if you can really use a free ticket just write Sage via the Crow Collective site and she will provide them. As always, no questions asked.

Long version: The Eventbrite free tickets are gone within the first five minutes of the workshop opening for registration. The Crow Collective community is spread all over the world, and there's no way to make the moment free tickets come available fair because half of us are asleep while the other half are awake. So from here on out, just get in touch.

2 hour workshops - always eligable, if there's money in the tip jar - and there almost always is.

2 day and 5 week workshops - two free spots built in, I will give these away in the order I receive requests. After those built in spots are gone, you're welcome to get in touch about $19 CAD off the total price.
