Holy Eating

hearts halt

eyes dry out
stomachs lose legs 
to stand on
 
and mouths ache 
for words that will not come
 
and as the
the motions appear motionless
 
making your self
something to eat
is revealed to be 
the kindness your soul starvingly seeks
 
oh 
go on
make your soul a
sandwich

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
