News from WORK:
Our physical space might be awfully quiet right now, but our community is still as vibrant and engaged as ever. After a couple of successful Zoom events, we've decided to try our hand at a virtual Crash Course and Climate Chat next week.
The world may still be an uncertain place, but we're righting this ship the best we can. I hope you jump on board and try out an event or two.
With much love and hope,
Natasha

A Virtual Friday Night Storytelling Salon
Led by Theatre Artist and Community Builder Jessica Litwak
Fridays, March 27th, April 3rd, April 10th & April 27th
7:00 - 8:00 PM
Jessica will lead each salon with a suggested prompt and a “performance” to kick things off.
Re-imagining the word performance, the salon sharing does not have to be edited into perfection or professionalism: It can be a 5 minute anything.
The concept is to practice Courageous Generosity by offering little gifts of story to each other to provoke thought, uplift spirits or share an open heart of feeling.
You can also tune in just to listen and watch.
