Join MLOV for a free interactive workshop to tell your story! This month, we'll explore your life as a river flowing within your community.
About this Event

Imagine your life as a river flowing downstream into a big ocean. Before you reach the ocean—your destiny—you pass by and encounter trees, rocks, birds, plants, seasons, people, and other attractions. If you are the river, these objects represent your community.

Some experiences with your community propel you forward; others halt you, stall you, or take you on a ‘rapid’ journey. Be it as it may, your life as a river shapes your concept of self and community simultaneously. Each river represents a unique journey and a unique story.

Join MLOV for My Life as a River: An Interactive Workshop to learn creative tools that will help you awaken memories and moments on your journey, so that you can tell a compelling story. Here’s what to expect:

  • Community building exercises
  • Theatre games and interactive icebreakers
  • Speed friending because COMMUNity is created through COMMUNication
  • My Life as a River: Creative storytelling activity
  • An opportunity to be part of the the MLOV “Summer of Storytelling” project ($150 stipends available)

Summer of Storytelling:

This workshop is part of MLOV's Summer of Storytelling to uplift the voices of immigrants, refugees, and BIPOC folks from the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis through writing workshops, yoga, and events like this one. MLOV will award $150 stipends for people who would like to publish a story this summer. If you wish to learn more and get your story published, join our workshops or email [email protected].

Language Access:
