"Sick at Heart: Writing with the Love We Inherit" - Workshop with Yanyi

Thursday, February 11, 2021
4:00 PM PST

In art, we reveal our lives. Our lives include our minds, our bodies, and our access to attention. Using the model of the family tree, this short workshop will help you bring attention to the generations of psychological patterns in your life while also writing creatively around and into them. We will retrieve the present with the past in our families and beyond.
