The Story Sangha: Scholarship

Following in the footsteps of the More Than Words: Writing as a Means to Discovery,and Spokes in the Wheel: Better Writing (and Living) Through the Noble Eightfold Path online workshops, The Story Sangha continues on the first Saturday of each month from March through December of 2023. These meetings will allow us to check in with each other and discuss our work (whether guided by a prompt, or self-guided), the writing process, or anything that comes up for us during the preceding month. You do not have to have taken a previous workshop to sign up; The Story Sangha is open to anyone – please spread the word to any friends you have who write or who would like to!

The schedule below will serve as a guide, but occasionally the conversation may follow a slightly different... path…than listed here, depending on what comes up for us. (Again, if you have your own project or idea or focus, bring that along! The prompt headings below are for those who would like a little nudge.)

We will write, and share, and read, and revise...together! We will jointly hold space, for ourselves and others, to create a writing sangha where we can feel comfortable sharing as much or as little as we would like. Whether you have a large-scale project in mind, have been thinking of journaling, want to polish a single story, or simply want to feel more comfortable with the writing process, you are welcome here. Bring a pen and notebook, or your laptop, and come join us!
