“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” –Annie Dillard.
No one’s path is identical, no one’s needs are the same. We each have to define what we need, communicate it clearly to ourselves and the people in our lives, and then begin to make the changes necessary to turn these ideas into reality, so that the days we are living match up to the life we want to have lived.
Join poet and essayist Seema Reza for a 5 week intention-setting writing workshop to benefit Community Building Art Works’ creative programs for veterans and service members receiving care in military hospital. Each week you’ll receive a writing prompt, an opportunity to share your work in a private virtual classroom, and join a meaningful conversation with like-minded people to help you clear away what doesn’t serve you and build something new. At the end of the course, you’ll have a short lyrical essay that’s a living draft for what’s ahead.
This class will be limited to 10 students, so please sign up quickly.
Time commitment: about 50 minutes per week, done on your own schedule, plus two opportunities for ‘virtual office hours’ to ask questions and get individualized feedback.
Seema Reza is a poet and essayist and the author of two books: A Constellation of Half-Lives and When the World Breaks Open.
