How the Booking Process Works
Bringing a workshop to your school or organization is a simple process.
It typically includes:
- Initial inquiry and discussion
- Selecting the type of workshop (spoken word, haiku, imagery or combined)
- Identifying audience size and age group
- Scheduling date and format (in-person or event-based)

Those who have never
“tasted” ink don’t know what it
is like to miss it.
How Workshops Are Customized
No two workshops are exactly the same.
Customization may include:
- Focus on haiku, spoken word, or both
- Age-appropriate content adjustments
- Theme alignment with school or event goals
- Integration with existing curriculum or programming
This ensures each experience feels relevant and intentional.
Why Spoken Word and Haiku Are Often Combined
Spoken word brings expression, rhythm, and performance, while haiku brings focus, simplicity, and reflection.
Together, they create a balanced creative experience that supports both expression and introspection.
