*Creative Colloquy presents the Writer's Workshop Series This Poem Is Not All That Feeds You: Writing Food In Community with Sarah A. Chavez * *Saturday, August 3 at 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. * *Today is built on the past and tomorrow is evolving from both the past and the present. The future? Quien sabe? Hopefully, there will always be tacos”― Denise Chávez, A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food and Culture* Writers often speak of the ways in which words feed our souls, but that soul doesn't have corporeal shape without the body! And the body doesn't thrive without nourishment. This workshop is a joyful exploration of food writing (or writing about food) and the ways in which eating/prepping/baking/cooking/recipe learning/abstaining and writing go hand-in-hand. Food traditions, whether passed down from ancestors, created a year ago with friends, or as personal ritual help us not only be on a path toward whatever our version of health and happiness is, but it also acts as a bridge to be in relationship. Together we will discuss a bit about the role food plays in our lives, then work through a few writing exercises that will guide us toward meditation on the myriad ways in which food connects us to community. While considering food in community with our words, we'll also be encouraged to break bread together in a potluck style sharing. *We'll be at a collection of tables at Dune Peninsula Park - some seating is available but you are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets to gather nearby as well.
