Shuína Skó, a Two-Spirit author, veteran, Indigenous rights activist and spoken word poet, will help you develop poetry writing and performance skills centered around the theme of renewal. Register soon—workshop is limited to 20 participants.

A lifelong humanitarian and member of The Klamath Tribes, Shuína Skó is a sought-after Indigenous storyteller who is passionate about sharing traditional Indigenous ways of being to promote healing and greater wellness. Skó, who prefers to be identified by their name as gender pronouns are not commonly used in Skó’s Indigenous language, holds a Bachelor of Science in psychology, has more than 10 years of experience serving some of the most vulnerable peoples within Indigenous communities, and understands the impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma. Through storytelling and spoken word poetry, Skó brings to light present social issues and their relationship to colonialism, systemic racism and ongoing oppression.
