If you’re interested in becoming a WWS member in Los Angeles, we host new member orientation sessions online with our public workshops in February, May, August, and November. You must register beforehand to gain admittance, and orientations are limited to 20 new members. Registration opens a month before the event. Membership and all events are FREE!

Watch for announcements of upcoming events on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

View past workshops on our Workshop Archive page.

If you do not live in Los Angeles, we ask that you reach out to a chapter in your city or region to join their next event. A list of existing chapters with chapter leads’ contact information is provided below. If you don’t see your city or region listed and are interested in starting a WWS chapter in your area, please contact Chapters Director Ryane Granados and Chapters Liason Lucy Rodriguez-Hanley at wwschapters [at] gmail [dot] com for more information on how to begin.
