SUMMARY:Sailing to Byzantium: The Poetics of Aging
DESCRIPTION:How does the psychology and spirituality of the second half of life call us to develop new and sometimes unexpected qualities?\nAging with intention is a creative and courageous act\, a path to wholeness. It becomes an art form\, a poetry\, when we allow for inner beauty and strength to emerge and challenge our inevitable biological limits. Our temperament\, attitudes\, and habits determine much of our experience as the body ages. Being playful\, joyful\, grateful\, loving\, and undeterred are some of the attitudes we can contemplate and foster\, and many thinkers have addressed how the psychology and spirituality of the second half of life calls us to develop these sometimes new and unexpected qualities. In this program\, we will apply some of these lessons\, both scientifically-derived and wisdom-inspired\, to the challenges and opportunities of our pilgrimage into latter life. Join us to explore how the arts and the archetypal can support our collective journeys – laden with new joys\, new burdens\, and\, above all\, opportunities that could not present themselves in the busy-ness of our midlife years.

SUMMARY:Friends\, Frenemies\, and Foes: Character-Building in Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Tanya Aydelott\nTIME: Saturday\, April 13\, 1:00–4:00 p.m. CDT\nPRICE: Early bird price: $45 for members\, $60 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Sunday\, April 7. After Sunday\, April 7: $55 for members\, $70 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nCharacters can make or break a story — especially in speculative fiction. This generative workshop will look at character construction as an essential function of storytelling. Because story roles can help to define (and refine!) characters\, we will also consider the relationships between protagonists and their friends and foes. Using examples from published fiction\, we’ll consider how successful characters complement\, antagonize\, intersect with\, and/or support each other. Writing exercises will help you craft characters who come alive on the page.\nThis workshop is suitable for all writing levels.
