Putney Library Writing Group
2024-09-09 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-08-26 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-08-12 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-07-29 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-07-15 17:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York)
Every Other Monday at 6:30pm, starting July 1st at Putney Public Library.
All those who love to write, no matter what their level, will feel at home in this group. We will be meeting from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on alternating Mondays starting July 1st. Our dream is for people of ALL ages to attend to so the group will be diverse. The structure will be to write for a half an hour and then split up into groups to read to others and ask for as much critiquing as they would like. Then we will continue to write for another half an hour followed by forming small groups again. Finally the groups will come together to reassess how it all is going.
There will be a maximum of 12 people of all writers so you must register using this form: https://forms.gle/yqe1iuUFJrVRPWzFA
Lynn Levine and Cheryl Wilfong will lead the group.
Lynn is a forester and naturalist and has written 6 books with nature in mind. She finds writing an exercise that allows her mind to wander and be creative. More information about her can be found at Heartwoodpress.com .
Cheryl Wilfong is the author of The Meditative Gardener: Cultivating Mindfulness of Body, Feelings, and Mind (www.meditativegardener.com), winner of seven book awards. She is a polymath in accounting, psychotherapy, writing, publishing, and gardening. Her goal is to wake up to the present moment.
The Putney Public Library is located at 55 Main St. in Putney, VT. This program is free and open to the public.

Exploring aging and loving, losing and dying _our_ way: a reading and
discussion course with Michelle Blake
Tuesdays July 16th- August 6th 6:30pm-8pm
When I started looking for books on aging, loss and dying, I kept
finding titles like AGING WITH GRACE. Grace? Ugh. I’m done being told
how to get old, or do anything else, really. Guided by WALKING EACH
OTHER HOME, a collection of conversations between Ram Dass and Mirabai
Bush, let’s gather this summer to discover our own ways to age, to
lose, to learn.
Michelle Blake is an author and educator who lives in Putney.
