Writing Workshop: What Is Your Land Story?

What is your land story? Through a series of guided writing exercises, you will have the opportunity to explore, discover and reconnect to land and places that have significance for you.
Workshop led by Julie Stotz-Ghosh, Kalamazoo Valley's English Department Chair, and Lexie Schroeder-Kobb, Assistant Director for Museum Programs at Kalamazoo Valley Museum.
This event is part of the Honorable Harvest lecture series, organized in alignment with the Kalamazoo Foodways Symposium, and inspired by the beloved Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Kimmerer describes the Indigenous principles and practices of the Honorable Harvest, asking us to give back in reciprocity for what we have been given. Join us in this lecture series to explore ways in which we can come together to nurture and restore the Honorable Harvest in our communities and in our every day lives.
Arrive as early as 5 p.m. to enjoy Taps on Tuesday, a happy hour-style event hosted by Kalamazoo Valley’s culinary and brewing students.
