Memoir Writing Workshop -- Your Story Matters
Everyone has a story that needs telling. I went mute for five years and then I couldn't stop talking. We'll work on memory, honesty, and the courage to write the parts that scare you. Those are the parts that matter. Bring nothing but yourself and something to write with.
Songwriting Workshop -- Eighty Drafts of Hallelujah
I'll teach you to rewrite. And rewrite. And rewrite. Hallelujah took eighty drafts. That's not failure. That's craft. We start with a feeling, turn it into an image, then carve it into a verse. Bring patience. This is a slow art.
Mexican Folk Art Tour & Workshop
Visit my collection of retablos, ex-votos, and Judas figures. Then paint your own retablo -- a small tin painting of a miracle or survival. In Mexico, we thank the saints by painting what they saved us from. What has life saved you from? Paint that.
Essay Writing Workshop -- Truth as a Weapon
The essay is the most dangerous literary form because it requires you to think clearly and say what you mean. No hiding behind characters. No hiding behind metaphor. Just you and the truth and the page. I'll teach you to write sentences that change the temperature in the room.
Open Tuning Guitar Workshop -- Beyond Standard
I play in fifty different tunings because standard tuning bored me. I'll teach you DADGAD, open D, open C, and my own tunings that don't have names. Different tunings make the guitar a different instrument. One guitar, fifty voices.
Short Fiction Workshop -- Labyrinths of the Mind
We write stories that are puzzles. Stories where the form IS the content. A detective story that is also a metaphysical treatise. A book review of a book that doesn't exist. I'll teach you to write fiction that makes the reader think they are dreaming while fully awake.
Afrobeat Rhythm Workshop -- 45 Minutes of Groove
Afrobeat songs last forty-five minutes because that's how long it takes to reach transcendence. I'll teach you the interlocking rhythms -- drums, percussion, bass, guitar, horns -- that create the groove. Everyone plays a pattern. Nobody plays the whole thing. Together, you are unstoppable.
Stencil Making Workshop -- Your Message on Any Wall
I'll teach you to cut stencils, mix paint ratios, and get your message up in under sixty seconds. The art is in the preparation -- the execution takes less time than a traffic light. We practice on canvas first. What you do after that is your business. I never saw you. You were never here.
Documentary Filmmaking Workshop -- Truth on a Budget
You don't need a studio. You don't need a crew. You need a camera, a microphone, a laptop, and something worth saying. I'll teach you to research, script, edit, and publish a documentary that changes how people see the world. The mainstream won't touch your story? Good. Publish it yourself. That's what the internet is for.
Poetry Workshop -- Compression and White Space
Learn to say everything in four lines. We work on compression -- removing every word that isn't earning its place. Dashes are welcome. Capital Letters too. The goal is a poem so concentrated it detonates on contact.
Epic Novel Writing Workshop -- Structure for 500+ Pages
How to write a book that contains an entire world. We'll study structure, character management (I juggled 580 characters in War and Peace), and the art of the long form. This is not for short-attention spans. This is for people who want to build cathedrals.
Writing Workshop -- Finding Your Voice Through Humor
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. I'll teach you to use it. We'll work on voice, timing, and the art of saying true things that make people laugh instead of cry. Bring something you've written. I'll be honest. Honest is all I know how to be.
