CAConrad facilitates: KARMA HARVEST: A (Soma)tic Poetry Workshop. The (Soma)tic rituals we will examine in Tacoma will help us see the creative viability in everything around us by creating a space of extreme present where being anything but present is next to impossible. We will also discuss how poetry and their rituals help us end our alienation from our planet and from one another. Creative people are survivors and we will examine the important role of artists for the future health and happiness of our species at this bleak time in our history. Sunday, October 15, 2017, 11:15am at the State History Museum, $50 to to first 20 Gold Pass holders who register.
Patricia Smith facilitates: Writing on the Other Side of the Wall: At the risk of being labeled (*shudder*) confessional, we will explore ways to reach and write material that we continually shunor steadfastly ignoreusually because prohibitive emotional content makes it so difficult to access. Writing about stunning sunsets or a first kiss is fine--but the work that changes us, that gives us the resilience to move from one human moment to the next, often lies on the other side of a wall that most of us have decided it's best not to approach. Well approach it, well scale it, well scare ourselves more than a little but the poems we find in that shadowy, uncharted territory will be well worth the journey. Saturday, Oct 14, 2017, 12:30pm, Washington State History Museum. $50 for the first 15 Gold Pass Holders who register. http://cascadiapoetryfestival.org/cpf5tacoma-2017/writing-on-the-other-side-of-the-wall-patricia-smith-workshop/
