In this three-week generative workshop, writer and educator Daniel Ramirez invites students to explore family, community, ancestry, and our connection to the natural world through storytelling and guided writing prompts. Each session will focus on a different layer of belonging — from family roots to community ties to our relationship with the Earth itself. Through readings, conversation, reflection, and writing exercises, students will create stories, essays, or poems rooted in memory, place, and identity.

DATES: Saturday(s), Jun 6, 13 & 20, 10am-12pm CT, Hybrid (online via Zoom and in-person at Gemini Ink) COST: Nonmember: $150; Member: $129; Student/Educ/Mil: $105
