It's our 10th anniversary! Please join us for a series of complementary quarterly generative writing workshops on Zoom with Círculo Board Member Odilia Galván Rodríguez.
Workshops will occur on Wednesdays at 8:30 pm EST, 6:30 pm Mountain, or 5:30 pm PST. The dates are January 15th, April 16th, July 16th, and October 15th.
The topic for April 16th will be the element Wind in all its manifestations. The workshop included a series of prompts to aid in the writing. All participants were encouraged to share their work. During the remaining quarterly seminars, we will write about the elements of— Fire, and Water.
More details about the "Air" workshop from Odilia Galván Rodríguez:
AIR
Air is the next element that we will discuss and write about in the second free creative workshop celebrating our 10th Anniversary Year.
Air is always present and is essential for life on Earth, while wind is its movement (in Nahuatl ollin) in all its splendor. Wind is noticeable and capable of carrying sounds, smells, and even objects. The interaction between air and wind is essential to meteorology and environmental science. Without the wind, we wouldn't have good waves for surfing or a nice breeze cooling us off while we sit in the shade on a hot summer day. We all have memories of storms that include the wind, and the most potent and destructive manifestations of air appear in a circle, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, twisters, and whirlwinds. Most of us have stories we can tell about our experiences with inclement weather and wind.
In this generative workshop, we will touch on manifestations of air and wind in our lives and write about them. Come prepared to share your work.
