Generations of Repair

These are the generations
That went forth from the garden
That emerged from the ark
That climbed off the altar
And crawled out of the pit.

These are the generations 
That rose from the bullrushes
That refused the yokes
And outlasted the mortar and brick that built the ancient cities.

These are the generations
That strode toward redemption
And not once remained in degradation.

For their becoming has been one timeless movement toward repair.

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
