(Re)Creation

Lo! Your Genesis.
Like darkness that lingered over the deep, you were cloaked in shadow but still, empty. 
Eager for form but lacking in self-made meaning,

You placed yourself within someone else’s fence.
It was only natural.
You thought at the time.
But the thought nagged at you and teased you.
“Whose garden?”
So, one day, mustered up the courage to leave.

Though at times, you felt your uncertainty could drown you.
Neither water, nor earth could contain you.
For you are and have always been the sky. 

There is no fence to keep you in. 
There is only vast expansiveness for you to begin again and again and again.

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
