Join poet, author and educator Dr. Ahava Shira as she celebrates her new book Writing Alone Together. In a world that is becoming increasingly virtual, how do we help ourselves and our students sustain our physical connections to each other? Pull yourself back into the present and into the vital nourishment of face-to-face expression and conversation. Write your stories authentically, boldly and honestly.
Dr. Shira will share how this transformative writing pedagogy is being used with k-12 students in two school districts in BC to encourage students’ self-awareness, self-compassion and resilience and with adult learners at the Centre for Loving Inquiry.
