Writing your Memoirs - Jan Tarasovic
Wednesdays Sep 12 - Nov 7, 2018
2-4 PM
Exploring and writing about your past is a journey of self-discovery that can be illuminating, healing, and FUN! Class exercises will provide published examples, jog your memory, and improve your written expression. Be prepared to write weekly, share what you write, and enjoy the life stories of your classmates. Class is limited to 15.

Note: Register early for this popular class, but first-timers who are church members will have priority until mid-August, then repeating church members, then non-church members.
After the 8-week class, you'll be encouraged to continue as a writing group, sans teacher. Please consider carefully if you want to make the commitment to regular, long-term writing. Test yourself by writing a memoir (one memory, not a book!) in the next two weeks. If you do it, you're ready to sign up!
Women’s Spirituality Retreat–

Facilitated by Rev. Sue Sinnamon and others

The White Ally Toolkit Workbook–
2nd and 4th Tuesdays beginning September 11.
Using Active listening, empathy, and personal storytelling to promote racial equity.
It is also to develop a conversational strategy for discussing racism that is designed to counter the tendency to deny racism exists. The idea behind this workbook is that some progress on race relations is best achieved through conversation among white people. White people need to prepare for conversations by doing some reflective work of their own- by themselves and in groups with other like minded white people. The workbook is designed to foster the deep internal reflective work that is needed, a strategy for this code switching, and to give guidance about how to apply it in a variety of situations.
Participants will have their own workbook to guide them in this process and we will meet twice a month to reflect on our work and practice our conversations.
after you register you will receive the link to download the workbook. The cost of the workbook is
$25
