Sunday, August 1
10 am - 5 pm
with Camille Cusumano

Please bring your lunch—beverages will be provided.

Anyone who writes, professionally or informally, experiences how it taps a different brain from the everyday one. Invariably, the writing space, entered as in meditation, allows loss and submerged pain to float to surface. Writers often face these feelings, along with the joyful ones, as signage to meaningful, redemptive stories, taking refuge in the practice. Consider this daylong workshop, a safe haven for personal writing—about loss or gain. We will write, chat, and work on crafting your precious material, with occasional personalized “soft” critiques.

Participants are invited to contact Camille by email if they have questions about the class.

Fee: $70; $63 members; $56 limited income.

Registration: Please call the City Center Office at 415.863.3136.
