About this Event

Co-presented with Ruth's Table


Litquake’s Elder Project brings creative writing and storytelling workshops to retirement communities across San Francisco and Oakland. Seniors participate in reading, storytelling, discussion, hands-on creative writing, and in-class sharing sessions to explore their own stories, the stories of their communities, and stories about the world, while using the techniques of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction that they've learned in classes. Share in the beauty of their words, hear their stories, listen to your elders. Light refreshments and beverages to be provided. Can’t be there in person? Streaming on youtube.com/litquake. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
