WRITE ON - HomePermalink

WRITE ON - Home is an offering of Community Canvases’ Kind Fools’ WRITE ON intuitive writing workshops using the theme of “home” with communities that have a special relationship with the concept/experience of home. These workshops provide a supportive and creative environment for an exploration of our individual and collective relationship with the idea, feeling, and experience of home.

In the summer of 2025, we will offer workshops with immigrant communities with interpreters.
In the fall of 2025, we will offer workshops with our local homeless communities.
In the fall of 2025, we will offer a performance event to share our art (poetry, painting, dance).
In the winter of 2025, we will offer workshops welcoming these communities as well as our broader community.

Anyone is welcome at any of these WRITE ON intuitive writing workshops, as we discover our common humanity by listening more deeply to ourselves and each other.

The goal of this project is to build just relationships (and a common sense of community) among people across the city, to foster confidence in self-expression and writing, and to build paths of mutual respect and understanding. Putting the comfort and emotional safety of our participants first, we seek to discover what these writers create from their lived experience. What universal truths and commonalities arise among each group’s writings? What is unique in each person or groups’ relationship with home?
