Join us for a three-session writing workshop series exploring stories about home.
Led by writer and teacher Ashwak Fardoush, this workshop series focuses on writing about home, community, language, and migration.
The sessions are held from 2 to 4 pm on May 9, 16, and 23. Participants register for all three sessions as a whole, which creates a safe container and closed group where trust and continuity can develop.
The workshop is broken up into 3 parts:
Part I: Places & Home
Part II: People & Home
Part III: Language & Home
We will:
* Use holistic strategies to excavate stories about home, community and migration
* Learn ways to connect to our creativity
* Write without censorship
* Access personal memories, communal history, and ancestral wisdom
* Share our stories in a supportive community
* Hold space for each other’s stories through active and empathic listening
Please reach out to info@sawcc.org if you want to join but the registration cost is prohibitive.
Ashwak Fardoush is a writer, educator, and founder of Wildflower Writing. Born in Bangladesh, she immigrated to the US at a young age with her family.
