To learn more about our workshops, go to 2024 Workshop Descriptions
We will try to accommodate as many participants in the Reading and Open Mic portion of the conference, so we must limit everyone to one poem or one paragraph of prose and a 3-minute maximum time limit. Make sure to sign-up for the open mic as part of your registration.
If you would like to make a donation, go to PayPal. (You don't have to have a PayPal account to send a payment to paypal.me/circulowriters). The conference fee is $25, and you are welcome to attend one or both dates. You can also become a Círculo member or continue your membership by posting the annual $50 dues.
In addition, we are glad to announce that there are 10 free annual memberships available for BIPOC writers that include the conference fee. Please fill out the application, and we will let you know the last week in July. No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
The annual Círculo conference takes place in August every year. For 2024, the conference will be held both in-person and online on August 17th and 24th.
Both dates include break-out sessions where participants can generate poetry and prose. Every workshop is open to all writers, from those just starting their writing journey to published authors.
The conference concludes with a "Reading and Open Mic" open to all participants.
Seeing everyone's faces was wonderful. Hearing the poetry that was read reminded me how important it is to hear a variety of voices as a writer. I have some lists of topics and more to inform my writing after completing the exercises.
I found the workshop very helpful and informative. What was presented took me forward with checking out other poets, and more.
The morning opening ceremony and introduction was a great way to begin on a note of spiritual creativity. The breakout I participated in was superb in all ways.
The conference was very helpful especially the workshop I attended. The conference organization was perfect. I like to thank the organizers for all the work they did on every one of its aspects but especially on the Zoom connection.
I was inspired by the presence of so many - our need to be together and write.
It was both inspiring and motivational. And totally germane to our current world.
Thank you so much for contributing to our financial future. Círculo is a non-profit. We appreciate your support.
