Join us as we welcome author and expressive arts therapist Dr. Zelda Lockhart as she leads a writing workshop centered on healing the generational wounds of our fathers through weaving our stories to their stories. This workshop will involve genealogical research and personal writing and is free and open to adult writers at all levels of experience.

She is winner of the Lambda Literary Foundation 2024 Outstanding Mid-career Novelist Prize. Her novels include "Trinity, Fifth Born" (a Barnes & Noble Discovery selection), "Cold Running Creek" (a Black Caucus of the ALA Honor Fiction award winner), and "Fifth Born II: The Hundredth Turtle" (a 2011 Lambda Literary Award finalist). Her methods are contained in her book "The Soul of the Full-Length Manuscript: Turning Life’s Wounds into the Gift of Literary Fiction, Memoir, or Poetry".
