About this Event
Talk Story Collective presents our monthly FREE one-day writing workshop!! **note that our previous workshops have been at Govenors Island but September will be held at a different location in Brooklyn!**
Our September Writer's Workshop will be led by our incredible duo Bianca Bennett (a writer and seasoned volunteer employee of the Natural History Mueseum) and Keali'i Thoene (a writer/naturalist). In honor of Environmental Awareness Month, we will explore themes of our relationships to nature and how to co-exist with ʻāina, wai, and kai ethically.
This workshop is indeed FREE and no previous writing experience is required! Just a hunger for engagement and community

We encourage bringing water, a notebook, pen or pencil, or laptop (WiFi will be available on premise) and a snack to share!
