The Work Poetry Workshop: Saturday Afternoon Edition

Niche Wine Bar 1013 Main St, Vancouver

Join us on Saturday, December 8 for The Work, a monthly poetry writing workshop at Niche Wine Bar led by Christopher Luna. Christopher is completely convinced of poetry's ability to encourage empathy and compassion, and to spark the shifts in consciousness which can lead to healing, personal growth, and an interest in fighting for progressive social change. He would love to share his passion for poetry with you. We will read and discuss poetry, and write several new poems together from 11:30 until 2:30. Niche is located at 1013 Main Street, right next door to The Kiggins Theatre, Vancouver's landmark movie house in the Vancouver Arts District. $20 suggested donation; no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Bring a poem to share…

Free – $20
