SUMMARY:Joy At the End of the World: A Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis is becoming more urgent every year, but it’s so big and scary that we often struggle with where to start. In this hands-on writing session, we’ll make space for our feelings and work toward achievable individual and collective ideas for healing ourselves and our planet. With a mix of small group discussion, journalling, meditation, and resources from the Climate Wayfinding program, come discover that joy is possible as we engage our imaginations to create a better, fairer, sustainable world for everyone to live in.\n \nPlease bring a notebook and pen.\n \nJulianne Harvey is an author, innovator, and nurturer in South Surrey, BC, the traditional unceded territories of the Semiahmoo First Nation and the Coast Salish Peoples. She’s the author of six books and wrote film reviews for a weekly newspaper for four years. Her work has appeared in pulp Magazine, WestWord, Freelance, and UPPERCASE Magazine.\n\nJulianne holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC, a BA in Creative Writing from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and a certificate in Counselling Skills from Vancouver Community College.\nJulianne runs Ruby Finch Books and speaks at large conferences to thousands of writers and teachers on writing, resilience, risk, and creative practices. Her newest book, a post-apocalyptic climate novel called Post Civ, is available now. She loves to wrestle through the messy areas of life with those who long to dive below the surface chatter.\n \nThis event is part of BC Library Association’s Climate Action Week, a province-wide initiative to highlight the ways communities and libraries are taking action in the climate crisis. Check out all the climate action events at the New Westminster Public Library from November 1-7! nwpl.ca/climate\n
