Want to Write? Strategies for Reviving Your Stories
Thursday, April 29, 5 pm
Women’s Center Conference Room
In this workshop we will revive memories, and [re]learn how to let go and write! Bring a small object that once belonged to a family member, a pet, a friend—something you can carry in your book bag or purse. This workshop will benefit writers of all experience levels and at all stages including those in the middle of a project and those with just an idea. LeAnne Howe is an enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, an author, poet, and screenwriter.
Stay Centered
Hoop Dancing
Thursday, April 29, 6 pm
Multipurpose Room, SRB
You are invited to join Sara Munro and step inside the hoop, claim your space, and give it a spin. Remember your rhythm, the joy of self-expression through your body, and your ability to play while you practice this new generation form of fitness, dance and movement. Larger, easier-to-use hoops will be provided for use during the workshop, and will also be available for sale. All fitness levels are welcome.
