Welcome to the TLA Network

We bring together and lift up individuals and organizations that promote forms of the spoken, written, and sung word as a tool for personal and communal transformation. 

We offer:

 The 18th Power of Words conference!

Don't miss out on the Early Bird Discount!

It ends October 1, 2023.

We hope you will join us for this special celebration of how we can build and sustain community, forge enduring individual and social change, and discover pathways to greater healing, meaning, and joy through writing, storytelling, theater, music, spoken word, and other word arts.

Come connect with over two dozen musicians, storytellers, spoken word artists, teachers, community leaders, educators, and health professionals to celebrate and investigate how the arts can promote justice, healing, community-building, and social change

Why become a TLAN member?

The TLA Network is a gathering place, a healing ground, a place of greater vision and wider perspective that supports individuals and organizations in promoting all forms of the spoken, written and sung word as a tool for personal and community transformation.

Our goal is to connect to each other and support the development of language used for liberation, growth, and celebration.
