SUMMARY:Illness as Story: Healing through Writing and Community with Suzanne Ohlmann
DESCRIPTION:Sat\, Oct 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 & Nov 4\, 11\, 10am-12pm CST\, Hybrid (online via Zoom and in-person)\nInstructor: Suzanne Ohlmann\nNonmember: $155; Member: $135; Student/Vet/Mil $75 \n*EARN CPE’S\nSCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. \n \n  \nDo you carry the story of illness in your body?  \nNo matter the diagnosis or disease\, illness leaves a mark on the mind\, body\, and soul. Even caregivers or clinicians carry the story of how they’ve helped others navigate disease. Sometimes the first step toward health and healing can be sitting with the truth of how illness affects you.   \nIn this six-week course\, participants will study the therapeutic storytelling model of the Six-Part Story (6PSM)\, explore writing about their experiences with disease from different points of view\, and practice combining facts and fiction to create a new version of their healing journey.   \nBy creating a safe space for reflection\, this workshop hopes to provide a path toward repair\, healing\, and empowerment. All students will write and polish a final essay for potential publishing. On the last day of class\, students will share their stories with each other.  \nThis course is open to writers of all genres and skill level\, 18+.  \nStudents will leave this course with: \n\nA polished essay in both first and third person\nAn understanding of how the Six-Part Story Method (6PSM) can be used to write about illness\nGreater confidence in sharing personal stories\n\n\nSuzanne Ohlmann is a writer\, nurse\, and musician. Her first book\, Shadow Migration: Mapping A Life (University of Nebraska Press)\, was released in March 2022. She teaches storytelling as a means to navigate illness and the human condition. Her essays have been published by Texas Monthly\, Intima: The Journal of Narrative Medicine\, and Longreads. She lives in San Antonio with her husband\, son\, and a chorus of adopted pets. \n

SUMMARY:Evoking Place Through Sensory Writing: An Open Genre Workshop with Award-winning Eco-Writer Camille T. Dungy
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 20\, 10am-1pm CST\, in-person at Gemini Ink\nInstructor: Camille T. Dungy\nNonmember: $135; Member: $115; Student: $75 \n*EARN CPE’S\nSCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE. \n\n \nPlace can be a tool for connection\, history\, freedom\, discovery\, and even tension. But how do we capture a setting with nuance so that a reader gains understanding and clarity of the world the story/poem lives in? \nIn this three-hour generative workshop\, participants will examine passages that use strong sensory details to bring the texture\, mood\, geographic and/or aesthetic quirks of a place to life. We will then practice various approaches for generating descriptive language and apply it to our own work.  \nDon’t miss this chance to spend a morning with one of the most intriguing literary voices of our time\, who is a ground-breaking author in the world of eco-writing! Walk away with several starts to new pieces of work evoking a sense of place in thought-provoking\, nuanced ways. \nThis course is open to writers of all genres and skill level\, 18+. Students are encouraged to bring their favorite writing materials. \nStudents will leave this class with: \n\nAn understanding of how setting can be used in creative writing\nApproaches to generating different kinds of sensory language\nThe ability to use sensory details to evoke place\nBeginnings of several new pieces of work\n\n\nCamille T. Dungy is the author of four collections of poetry\, most recently Trophic Cascade (Wesleyan UP\, 2017)\, winner of the Colorado Book Award. She is also the author of the essay collections Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden (Simon & Schuster\, 2023) and Guidebook to Relative Strangers: Journeys into Race\, Motherhood and History (W.W.
