RESCHEDULED -“La Primera Raíz / The First Root”: Origin Stories Workshop RSVP Form  

This workshop invites us to search the past to find parts of ourselves we left behind. Interact with a memory of a moment, a place, or a person, to find some critical part of the self, even with gaps, which may lead to illuminating questions. Origin can mean family, birthplace, your arrival to a new land, it can point to the essence of who you are. The distance of time allows us to reflect on our memories with honesty and insight, possibly recognizing aspects that were unnamed. This generative workshop invites us to explore the past to discover critical aspects of the self. Writers will interact with artifacts that shed light on a moment, place, or person. We’ll use examples from poetry and creative non-fiction to guide us. 

We encourage you to bring journal entries, notes, photos, family interviews, objects from your past, any writing artifact that can help you recall memories and expand your writing. 

We’ll provide writing prompts to create poems and nonfiction using examples from contemporary writers.
