To All That Shall Be, Yes
I’ve just finished my first week back in service after a discernment retreat at Le Vatout (www.levatout.com), a dear friend and client’s bed and breakfast in Waldoboro, Maine. If you are looking for a place to have quiet and reflective time surrounded by unimaginable majesty, give Dominika a call. I am deeply grateful to be able to make my own retreats there, and I know for certain that my continued service to the LGBTIQQAA literary community through Write Here, Write Now depends largely on the peace and introspection I am able to gain there.
While I was on retreat, the Queer Memoir: Leather event, a fundraiser for WHWN took place. You can view the video for the event here on the WHWN website, and I highly recommend that you do. This is what chosen family looks like. This is how community works. My thanks to all the good folks who were a part of making this event happen.
If you are interested in hosting a WHWN fundraising event please contact us at www.writeherewritenow.org and let us know how we can help you with that. If you would simply like to make a one time, or ongoing gift to support our work, click the support button on our website for information on what your gift will make possible. And as always, you can help in a profound way by simply spreading the word about WHWN.
Thanks to the support of the Advisory Group, and the ongoing fundraising efforts of so many of you, WHWN is looking forward to a year of exciting offerings. In addition to the regular Wednesday night writing workshops, we plan on:
-Adding our FIRST satellite writing workshop, in Lansing, Michigan. Stay tuned for more information on how to be trained to be a WHWN workshop facilitator in your own town.
-A one-day painting and writing workshop in Somerville.
-A one-day songwriting workshop, in Somerville.
-A once a month Skype workshop, starting in June.
-A new page to the WHWN website to feature fresh writing for workshop members.
-Our yearly WHWN barbecue.
-And of course, the new WHWN open mic, happening every other month!
I am so honored to be able to serve the LGBTIQQAA community in these ways, and I hope that I will see each and every one of you at one or more of these offerings!
In service,
Toni
