Come sing, listen, learn and celebrate. Join Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation) for this story hour featuring songs and books from Native cultures. Children, families, elders, aunties and uncles — everyone is welcome. Note there are also in person events with Karen, but this one is online!
This preschool storytime is especially welcoming for children and families who are looking for a more adaptive virtual storytime experience.
This program is intended for children and their caregivers. Participants may be asked to identify themselves either through camera, chat, or by unmuting. If you would like to attend as an observer, please contact us at 503.988.5123.
The Writing Well invites writing for fun and inspiration. Each of us has a deep well of creativity and writing is one way to access the treasures from that well. A few places are still open for the fall program. “Writing alone, together,” we’ll meet on Zoom the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, September 8 through November 24, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time.
In The Writing Well sessions, we work with prompts to explore whatever is seeking your expression in the moment. We meet together in a safe space, hold one another’s confidentiality, and (if willing) take risks to share what we discover. Consistent practice can strengthen our creativity muscles and may promote healing, connection with self and others, and help improve craft and accountability. Sophia D. brings her experience as lay minister, spiritual director, and professional writer to these informal sessions, but promises there will be no critiquing or instruction.
