Remember the Stranger

remember 

the stranger
 
lest your heart 
become 
a shackle
 
and a stone 
become the surface 
of your skin
 
in solitude
i am overcome 
by the wonder of freedom
 
that
i touch y(our) loneliness
 
and unalone 
at last
 
i let you
stranger
 
all the way in!

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
