All participants should rent, buy, or download" The Book of Alchemy" by Suleika Jaouad before the first class. In this 8-week workshop, we will use "The Book of Alchemy" by Suleika Jaouad as a guide for a sustained creative practice. Participants will write daily for fifty days, choosing between two prompts each day. The goal is not perfection, but presence. Most prompts can be completed in 10 to 15 minutes, making it manageable even during busy weeks. We will meet once a week for 90 minutes to share selected pieces and engage in thoughtful, witness-based reflection. This is not a critique class. Instead, we will practice deep listening and generous response, noticing what lingers, what surprises us, and what themes begin to emerge across the weeks. Through daily writing and weekly gathering, participants will: - Build consistency and confidence in their writing practice - Discover patterns and images shaping their work - Strengthen their authentic voice - Experience the power of being heard without judgment - Come ready to write, to listen, and to build a sustainable writing practice.

Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down: The Texas singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop, and even Nineties grunge. His 2016 album "Noise Complaint" endeared him to fans with its no- holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hits “Love” (feat. Parker McCollum), “Something to Talk About” and the infamous “February 28, 2016.” Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, "Sellout", only furthered his legend with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” plus the Gold-certified “Good Die Young” and “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, "Hell Paso", hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.” To date, Wetzel has 2.8 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” In 2023 alone, he sold more than 275,000 tickets, and appeared for a third time on POLLSTAR’s Top Worldwide Tours.
