Some of us grow up close with our fathers, some of us not. Others become estranged as adults or find a way back to closeness as the years go by. There can be love, play, alliances, respect, and deep connection in father-child relationships, but there can also be defiance, struggle, abandonment, secrets, and abuse. And then there’s regret. How do we write through and with and about regret?
In this generative workshop, we’ll talk about how this often-complex relationship can bolster or belittle us, challenge and reward us. We’ll read and discuss short pieces by writers on how they experience(d) their fathers, write to prompts, share, and respond to each other’s writing.
Cost: 420nis if paid before March 1 and 480nis subsequently
