Stories About Home: A Writing Workshop Series

Led by writer and teacher Ashwak Fardoush, this workshop series focuses on writing about home, community, language, and migration.

The sessions are held from 2 to 4 pm on May 9, 16, and 23. Participants register for all three sessions as a whole, which creates a safe container and closed group where trust and continuity can develop.

The workshop is broken up into 3 parts:

Part I: Places & Home

Part II: People & Home

Part III: Language & Home

We will:

* Use holistic strategies to excavate stories about home, community and migration

* Learn ways to connect to our creativity

* Write without censorship

* Access personal memories, communal history, and ancestral wisdom

* Share our stories in a supportive community

* Hold space for each other's stories through active and empathic listening

Please reach out to [email protected] if you want to join but the registration cost is prohibitive.
