In a vibrant celebration of National Poetry Month, the dynamic duo behind the art collective Eat Off Art, Edreys and Alexa Wajed, spend three action-packed days immersed in poetry, art, creative expression and social responsibility at the Institute for the Humanities.

Today: Explore playful, generative approaches to self-investigation through prose, poetry, and expressive storytelling. Drawing from lived experience or creative imagination, participants will experiment with voice and form in a supportive space, with a strongly encouraged share-out at the end.

Open to writers, nonwriters, and the writing-curious—no prior experience necessary. Brunch included.

What to Expect:
-Guided prompts to support independent writing
-Time to refine and rehearse your creative process
-Community, conversation, and a good time
