An Invitation to Write
"Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes and failures had been wiped clean by summer." ~Wallace Stegner

Writing Workshop: Changing Perspective -
$50 per person -

How do you decide whether to write in the first person or the third? How do you enter the point of view of someone from a different culture or time, or even just someone who saw the same events from a different angle? Through in-class exercises and discussion, we'll examine what happens when you change perspective. Open to all, ages 16 through adult.
Sponsorship of the Author Series made possible by Annette Januzzi Wick & Mark D. Manley, with gratitude for 25 years of Women Writing for (a) Change

25th Anniversary Abundance Circle
On Saturday September 10th, twenty-two women gathered at Women Writing for (a) Change for the 25th Anniversary Abundance Circle. Not exactly sure what to expect, we were universally drawn by the idea of
abundance.
Lisa Hess facilitated the circle using a "small stone" theme based on Fiona Robyn's work in which a small stone is "...a little glimpse into the wonder of life through the portal of a single thing or scene studied carefully". We were invited to move about the space in search of memories and magical moments of our time in this community, and then to write.
Our subsequent readaround was a collection of memory-snippets, small stones of noticing: a feeling, a poem, a quilt, a friend, special small groups, and so much more.
Food, laughter, and stories were shared afterwards. Gratitude to all!
