This facilitated group is open to all writers of fiction and creative
non-fiction who want a serious group to provide constructive criticism\,
motivational exercises\, and interpersonal accountability to keep their
writing on track. We do monthly exercises and critiques with an eye
towards individual improvement and the eventual goal of publication.
Writers are encouraged to bring copies of their work to share for
critique. The group meets the second &\; fourth Monday of each month
from
6\:30-8\:30pm. Please direct inquiries to elizabeth@chariscircle.org.
This facilitated book group meets from 7\:00-8\:30pm the 4th Wednesday of each month at Charis
to discuss books which feature queer characters/ storylines as well as
a strong attention to literary craft and style. February's book\, The Sweet In-Between by Sheri Reynold\, is the story of butch/genderqueer Kenny Lugo who has grown up in a family that's not really her's. Now\, as Kenny approaches her eighteenth birthday and the end of the
government checks looms\, she is desperate to
prove that this house and these people really do belong to her. But
when a senseless murder occurs next door in their small coastal town\,
Kenny can’t get it out of her mind. She has always been consumed by the
ways in which she is different–and inherently unworthy–so the unjust
death of a young woman with everything to live for becomes an
obsession.
Join us for this very special workshop with Adam Brush which is designed to help us all communicate better in our personal\, professional\, and activist lives. Adam will lead us in fun and practical exercises which will help us recognize violent communication patterns as they occur and help us be cognisant of the individual choices we have in responding to violent communication\, be it interpersonally or in the world at large. The Nonviolent Communication practice that Adam will share with us is modeled after the methods in the book\: Nonviolent Communication\: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg.
