"...My tribe has come here
to tell tales as old as bedrock.
From their spirit wells
they dip and spin
a story that will piece
the world back together."
Lea Haratani, Sisters Singing, excerpt from her poem "Circle of Women"
At the start of the New Year as our world continues to rapidly change, coming together to write and to connect with one another is a powerful act strengthening awareness of our shared humanity. We all need spaces to contemplate our life, to access our imagination and to actualize our vision. In this monthly in-person circle, writing doorways will support us in connecting with our inner vision, our wisdom, our poetic heart and our ability to create new worlds on and off the page. Listening to one another's stories will help to deepen our preception and will gift us with tools to strengthen our writing and allow our voices to sing.
No previous writing experience necessary.
