Ucross Alum River 瑩瑩Dandelion recently shared his new online writing workshop: AWAKEN YOUR CREATIVE SPIRIT: POETRY AS INTUITIVE PRACTICE.

Participants write poetry that more deeply connects them to their roots, lineages, intuition, and creative power while learning strategies and practices to listen to themselves and create their writing from that place.

"At Ucross, I found space — not just the vast, breathtaking landscape, but the kind of space that allows ideas to unfold organically,” Tulu Bayer shared with us after her Spring 2025 residency. “I gathered traces of the land itself, turning vegetation into paper, layering it with images and stories of migration. Creativity here feels like an extension of the earth — rooted, expansive, and deeply connected. Grateful for the time, the place, and the incredible community that made this experience unforgettable."
