City Stories Workshop: Pens & Pizza * January 14, 2017 

Please join us for our monthly free writing workshop | Sundays at SAFEhouse 6pm| Instructor: Daphne Gottlieb. Pens and Pizza will be provided | Session 1: Dates: Nov. 20, Dec. 11, Jan. 14.

Course Description:

Words can give us a home when we need more of one. Words let us build a home, shape us, and let us know our own histories. Our words can be a map to help us find ourselves, a rope to pull us back from the edge of the world.

Join us for three sessions of writing about who we are, where we’ve been, and who we could be. We’ll be writing poems, stories, letters, autobiography or anything we want as we follow each other in a trail of ink.

And then eat pizza.
