Becoming Conscious: A Healing Poetry Writing Workshop with Latin American Youth Center

The Potter’s House and LMSvoice Present:

The Potter’s House is a nonprofit café, bookstore, and event space rocking out in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC, since 1960. LMSvoice is an educational and wellness company specializing in the curation of radically healing curriculums for all humans. In celebration of National Poetry Month, we have joined forces with five other incredible local orgs to bring the world a month of virtual writing workshops every Wednesday at 7 pm in April. These workshops will culminate in a virtual open mic on Friday, April the 30th.

The Becoming Conscious writing series is focused on the healing power of writing and sharing stories of our individual, and collecting joys, traumas, victories, and obstacles. Each of the featured local organizations has collaborated with The Potter’s House and LMSvoice to create writing workshops inspired by the idea that to heal, we must first Become Conscious. We will announce the specific focus of each workshop the Wednesday before the event.

We invite the entire world to join us for the culmination Open Mic at 8 pm on Friday, April 30th, but you have to attend one of the four preceding workshops if you want to perform.
