an empty seat

I sit here at this desk
and I wonder what it is that I am doing.
I sit here bored.
I sit here killing time.

I sit here insecure.
and I stay.
all the while I think up schemes.
of removal.
of success.
of busting through the gates and doing it.

A Journey into Ancestral Story

My upcoming workshop on Ancestral Story
Join me!

Tuesdays: 7:15pm-9pm
September 21-November 16th
Cost: $125-$200 (sliding scale)
Class will be held in Berkeley, at Ashby and San Pablo, near Berkeley Bowl West

This 8 week course is an introduction into the living world of stories. Entering through our
ancestral stories we will:
 see how our stories inform our lives, and those who come after us.
 deepen our understanding of self and community.
 develop strategies for working with all story- ancestral, cultural, societal, and communal.

The course will be a combination of small group work, writing, research, discussion and lecture;
we’ll draft a family tree, create a family genogram, and do legacy work, among other things. Most work will occur during class hours, with the opportunity/possibility for individual exploration outside of class hours.
