Host a Workshop at Greenspell Studio

We’re in the process of scheduling guest workshops for 2025! Fill out the form at the link below to apply to host a workshop.

Proposals are considered based on calendar spots available and by category/style of event. We aim to provide a diverse set of offerings from a diverse group of teachers to facilitate our reconnection with the nonhuman world through creative, hands-on and embodied workshops.

We'll reach out via email if we need to collect more information or are ready to schedule a date. Applications are rolling & we encourage you to reapply with other proposals in the future. 

Thanks again for wanting to work with us, we’re excited to see how we can collaborate!
