Workshops Description:
​
How does your place of origin whether it is from here or somewhere else factor into our world? What pieces have you kept with you and what have you discarded? There are rich treasures sometimes hiding in what we have forgotten, discarded, or simply overlooked. We have so much to offer others from the simple to complex aspects of our own history. How does this blend with where you are today? What do you bring into community that may enrich others? Let the words fall onto the page as we discover how our heritage can enrich our writing and communities to engage us in new ways. Individual writing to be combined with a group piece. Join Bonnie Nish in this interactive, creative workshop. All levels welcome.
