In this creative writing workshop, Karen Finley will create prompts to reflect and process loss, grief and remembrance. Remembering those we loved and lost, reflecting with humour and poetic grace. Sometimes there is a moment of connection, correction, or to be kept at a distance, ambiguity or goodbye to a forgotten self. Ancestors, occasions, and our body embraces emotions and scars of events as fossils.

Writing will be a safe space, a sacred bay to process, transform and reimagine possibility. There can be joy and hope in what we discover to cherish with insight, while awakening our creative practice. This is not a therapeutic model but rather a hallowed tradition, encircling the ancient ways of artists as magicians, consecrating living truths, mysteries, circumstance and celebration. Join our collective. Introverts are encouraged. Ambiguity is fine. New and returning creatives welcome.

Presented by FADO Performance Art Centre with collaboration and support from Hemispheric Encounters: Developing Transborder Research-Creation Practices, York University.
