GallaMarrs for Schools

GallaMarrs Workshops

Passion and Purpose

I taught literacy for nearly a decade in grades 6-12 and college by the time I began my research in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. This background led me to connect what I learned from my classes to my students.

The incorporation of art and story addressed my students’ needs in a more comprehensive way. It reached their social emotional needs implicitly while making connections academically. However, it wasn’t until I began unofficially offering workshops to the K-8 students at my children’s school that I realized the stories’ greater potential.

I began GallaMarrs Workshops for schools with the goal of offering meaningful interactions with archetypal literature and art to support classroom content and address students’ implicit learning needs.

Academic Reading and Writing programs are also available – these programs can be customized for 5 days to 18-week instruction. For more about the academic literacy programs, please click the button below.

I am always interested in talking about literature and how it applies to our society, our sense of self, and our schools. I offer workshops for students and also staff development workshops.
