A LIve, interactive online generative series
Saturday & SUNDAY, 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. (EST)
July 30 & 31 (via zoom)
Let's re-record the narrative! Give a new, fresh voice to re-tell your history, your way! In this workshop, Jacinta White will take you through what she learned in her research for my book, "Resurrecting the Bones: Born from a Journey Through African American Churches & Cemeteries in the Rural South."
Whether you're writing poetry, a short story, a novel, or creative non-fiction, you will be provided tools that will inspire you to dig a little deeper...into your creative genus, archives/historical documents, what you know, and what you think you know already.
By researching and writing, we are making ourselves whole and providing a space for others to do the same by bearing witness to our story. This is spiritual, healing work in which we will combine genealogy and creative writing with a foundation from our past but also with the wisdom of beginning anew.
In this interactive and generative class, we will read selected work curated by Jacinta, share reflections, write and share our own work, and begin a journey that will take you into the next chapter. Both sessions will provide inspiration, poignant tips and questions to consider, and prompts for you to work with outside of class time.
