The Dark Door: Writing into the Lucent Space Beyond Loneliness, a writing workshop, Wednesday, November 11, 5:30-7pm, $15-$30 sliding scale. Limit 18 participants. Join Rae Diamond in exploring the theme of loneliness through writing practices. When we feel lonely and think from the position of loneliness, we stand before what feels like a wall—but it is in fact a door. In this workshop, we will walk through that doorway and write about what lies within and beyond loneliness.
With over 25 years of experience in Alaska law enforcement and a background in community safety and self-defense education, Ryan Browning will share practical strategies for recognizing and responding to conflict before situations escalate.

After, we’ll have an hour of "Yoga-ish: Mindful Movement for Real Life" with Stephanie Dickerson.
As always, free soup and bread will be provided, and all are welcome!
