Making a living from Transformative Language Arts is possible!

(This workshop is being offered as an event to benefit the TLA Network.)

Through connections and relationships with people who understand what you do and what value you can bring, you can truly bring your right livelihood to life this year.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we will explore different ways you can make meaningful connections with people, organizations, and institutions who need your thinking, skills, art, and language.

Whether you’re building a community or having one conversation at a time, you’ll find something here you can implement immediately. Even for those who think they dislike “networking,” a fresh take on the power of language to communicate what you do can energize your outreach.  

We invite you to join us, to set a path to brand new opportunities to be rewarded for your work in the world.

The TLA Network exists to support and promote individuals and organizations that use the spoken, written, or sung word as a tool for personal and community transformation.

The Transformative Language Arts Network (TLAN) is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our offerings, organization, and aspirations. Words have the power to question, subvert, and transform limiting cultural narratives as well as reinforce entrenched stories and stereotypes. The TLA Network wants to make clear that we celebrate and uplift conversations across identity and difference, whether rooted in race, religion, social class, ethnicity, disability, health, gender, sexual orientation, age, military service, and other identities. In the past we have responded to a lack of diversity by actively recruiting underrepresented groups to: present and keynote at the Power of Words conference; serve on the TLAN board; teach classes; and contribute to our publications. We will continue to look at ways to incorporate greater access and representation in all of our projects, not just through the power of words but through the specifics of our practices.
