4) What the Wreckage Knows: Writing as Excavation with Anse Sahar A. Dandan
Saturday Nov 28 | 5pm – 6pm CST
We live in a world that asks us to live in a state of delusion and pseudoreality, and leads us to become numb.
What happens when, instead, we pay attention? When we focus, centre, and ground ourselves? When we open our eyes and listen to the quiet?
This workshop asks us to excavate what chaos buried. To uncover the stories beneath our lives, beneath the surface. To name what we lost, what we found, what has broken, and what has healed. To use language not to escape the chaos of the internal or external, but to make something of it.
In this workshop, you will explore:
- Writing as a practice of attention and presence
- How to excavate buried stories and experiences
- Using language to process and transform chaos
- The healing potential of naming what has been broken and healed
Perfect for: Writers seeking to write with depth, honesty, and transformative power.
