Hey Writers!

Join us for our fifth and final meeting of 2024, “Family Ties,” on Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:30-3:30pm at Powered by Us studio. We will examine the importance of familial love and friendships as catalysts to fostering a loving community. We will explore how the love ethic attributes to creating a strong foundation for community love. Furthermore, we will challenge ourselves by creating characters and stories that find loving community within friends and family.

As a treat, we will chat and write around a “campfire” and make smores. ;)

Mandatory reading: Chapter 8 of bell hooks, All About Love 

Think about: 

What type of family dynamic do you have?

Why are forgiveness and sacrifice important in creating a loving community?

Why are friendships important to creating a loving community?
