The Stories That Guide Us with Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe

Thursday, June 25th, from 1pm to 4pm

In search of resilience we must turn to story. Sometimes our own stories are heavy with grief and trauma; where can we look to for strength? This workshop will explore research and memoir, mythologies and personal narrative. We will focus on the art of weaving research into personal narrative, and what it means to look beyond our own experiences in search of resilience. We will look at the braided form, write together using several prompts and share and discuss our creative work.

$197.00-$247.00
