This workshop focuses on the importance of writing in community. We'll begin with a short meditation to gather our t houghts and be present for what&rsquo\;s to come. The workshop will includ e reading and discussing poems written by Audre Lorde and Alok Vaid-Menon. The writing prompts will be inspired by these poems\, with one poem being written in partnership with another writer\, and the other an individual piece. Included will be time to share\, if participants feel prompted to d o so and time allows.
