SUMMARY:Nature-Based Memoir Writing Circle in Narrowsburg\, NY
DESCRIPTION:Join me in a Nature-Based Memoir Writing Circle\, Friday\, May 8\, from 5-8 in Narrowsburg\, NY. \nWriting Circles help writers of any ability to overcome the fear\, loneliness\, and procrastination by writing in community with support. I create a safe space and provide prompts for timed writing exercises designed to prime the creative pump. \nParticipants focus and fly\, letting loose the unknown in the wonder of words. Those who wish may read this new work aloud while all participants bear witness to the strange and wonderful stories that emerge. I teach a positive response practice that engenders a synergy where participants invariably write more\, write better\, and write with greater confidence. \nThis nature-based writing circle will use prompts from the natural world to poke memory and provide imagery. We will spend some time outdoors\, and a light meal will be served. \nRegistration and payment information here.

SUMMARY:Into the Wilderness with Rhoda Goldman Book Group\, San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:“a perfectly gratifying read” \nInto the Wilderness\, hailed as “a fiercely intelligent love story\,” is an award-winning novel about two sixty-somethings at inflection points in their lives. \nRose Mayer has just buried her second husband and wonders what she’s going to do with the rest of her life. Reluctantly\, she visits her son’s summer place in Vermont\, where there are neither sidewalks\, Democrats\, nor other Jews. She meets Percy Mendell at the Orton Fourth of July book sale and takes an immediate dislike. \nPercy’s a born and bred Vermonter who has never married\, never voted for a Democrat\, and never left the state. After a satisfying career as the county’s agricultural agent\, he’s facing retirement and doesn’t know what he’ll do unmoored from work. He meets Rose again at the Marlboro Music Festival\, where music becomes their common language. Set against the backdrop of Vermont’s changing politics and seasons\, Into the Wilderness is testament to the endurance of the human heart. \nThis story of silver love is set in small-town Vermont in 1964\, where “Luskin weaves together an enchanting tale of solitude\, friendship\, and romance.” ~The Jewish Advocate

SUMMARY:Book Discussion of Into the Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:“a perfectly gratifying read” \nI will be facilitating a discussion of Into the Wilderness for a private book group in Petaluma. \nInterested in learning about how Vermont shifted from deep red to deep blue?

And contact me to speak to your book group\, historical society\, library\, or social club. \nI’m available to speak about Reviving Artemis to your book group\, conservation organization\, or women’s group? We can make it happen. Contact me! \nJoin or sponsor a writing circle. More information here. \nSubscribe to Living in Place on Substack\, where I post News from the Word Shop about where I’ll be the first Wednesday of the month.
