SUMMARY:Mired 2 Moving: Getting Unstuck in Your Writing
DESCRIPTION:MONDAYs: June 14\, June 21\, and June 28\, 2021 – 10:00 am to 12:00 noon\n \nThis workshop is limited to 25 participants. \nMired 2 Moving is a deep listening and storytelling space where everyone comes in with what they are holding and where they want to get to. \nOur intention is to explore and strengthen your relationship with your writing. We work with elements of Journaling (awareness of\, attention to\, and honouring thought)\, loving kindness meditation (grounding and cultivating space within)\, social presencing theatre (getting unstuck)\, playback theatre (listening to self and other\, spontaneity\, creativity \, improvisation) and guided visualization (symbols and the unconscious). \nCome as you are\, bring what you hold. \nLisa and Joliane of Montreal Living Histories will help us reflect about and play with creativity\, the senses\, self-care\, pleasure\, and creating writing together. \nJoliane Allaire uses theatre techniques as pedagogical tools in education settings. For the last decade she has evolved with the Living Histories Ensemble where she explores intersections of Playback Theater\, Theater for the Oppressed\, Theatre for the Living\, and Developmental Transformation. \nLisa Ndejuru is a psychotherapist\, psychodramatist\, and theatre practitioner. Her research – creation explores survival and life\, stories and silence\, persecution\, genocide\, war and dislocation through deep listening\, storytelling\, and play. \nThis workshop is FREE. It will be held on ZOOM. Space is limited. To register: awe@atwaterlibrary.ca. \nThis online workshop is being produced in partnership with the Quebec Writers’ Federation. \nThe Atwater Library and Computer Centre is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka. \nGenerously supported by the Community Cultural Action Fund (CCAF) of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

SUMMARY:SALT & SAGE BOOKS: SENSITIVITY READING INDIGENOUS CONTENT
DESCRIPTION:There is a long\, unfortunate history of appropriation and misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in literature. As writing and publishing spheres encourage more inclusivity\, editors must also be sensitive to the content they are tasked with editing. Even some of the most well-meaning authors may find themselves writing inauthentic or offensive passages when writing about culturally sensitive topics.\n\nJoin us for a discussion with Salt & Sage Books sensitivity readers Savannah Tenderfoot\, Jordan Merica\, Ronkwahrhakónha Dubé\, Hinahina Gray\, moderated by Salt & Sage Books representative Erin Olds\, as they discuss their editorial experiences and offer advice for emerging and veteran editors. A form to submit questions or comments will be shared as part of the registration process.\n\n\n\n\nIEA Members: Registration is free and opens on June 8. Please visit our Become a Member page for information on joining the IEA!\nSFU Publishing students and IVA Attendees: Registration is free and opens on June 14. Please contact us for details and registration codes if you haven’t received one already.\nSalt & Sage participants: 50% off Public registration\, starting June 18.\nPublic registration is $10 and opens on June 18.
