TRANSFORMATIVE LANGUAGE ARTS NETWORK

We foster the growth of the field and profession of Transformative Language Arts (TLA), by providing spaces, both physical and electronic, where people interested in TLA can share resources, network, learn, and enhance their capacity to practice it in their communities.

Since 2005, we have provided education, training, mentorship, and community-building for all who use the spoken, written, and sung word for change, growth, and freedom. Together, we’re building a more just, peaceful, and creative future through the power of our words.

TLArtists are academics, activists, artists, community leaders, composers, educators, facilitators, healers, health professionals, musicians, performers, playwrights, poets, singer songwriters, storytellers, teachers, therapists, religious leaders, youth workers, writers and more.
