Deep Winter Storytelling Workshop with LaTonya Yvette

January 24 – February 14, 2026 | Four-Week Workshop

Led by author LaTonya Yvette, whose work has been noted for its "penetrating eye and lyrical empathy as she illuminates the complexities of home, embodiment, and inheritance" (Kirkus Reviews), this workshop is part of an ongoing, intimate practice exploring home, land, memory, and space as sources for creative work. These sessions are intentionally small, reflective, and immersive, giving participants the space to slow down, observe, and experiment.

Workshop Focus

• Investigate the site of memory and how imagery tells stories when words fall short

• Explore space on the page, in memory, and in the physical world, and how place shapes meaning and healing

• Develop new writing or existing pieces through readings, prompts, and guided exercises

• Work in a supportive, generative setting that connects observation, imagination, and craft

LaTonya draws inspiration from bell hooks' "Homeplace" essay, exploring how home, ritual, and memory create spaces of care, resistance, and belonging, guiding participants to consider how the everyday can become extraordinary on the page.
