A Workshop with David Whyte

Jackson Hole Writers and The Center are pleased to present a workshop with David Whyte.

Whyte is renowned for his writings and poetry. Within the 90-minute intimate workshop, participants can expect close discussion surrounding Whyte’s themes in his works and how the disciplines of attentive silence influence his writing. This page is for the workshop only. Tickets for An Evening with David Whyte in The Center Theater are available here. 

Whyte grew up with a strong, imaginative influence from his Irish mother among the hills and valleys of his father’s Yorkshire. He now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

The author of twelve books of poetry and four books of prose, David Whyte holds a degree in Marine Zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon and Himalaya. He brings this wealth of experience to his poetry, lectures and workshops.

David’s life as a poet has created a readership and listenership in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the literate world of readings that most poets inhabit, the psychological and theological worlds of philosophical enquiry and the world of vocation, work and organizational leadership.

David Whyte is one of the few poets to take his perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development, where he works with many European, American and international companies. He is the recipient of two honorary degrees: from Neumann College in Pennsylvania and Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia.
