this is my practice

Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act ~ Rebecca Solnit

19 June 2020

Dear Friends & Students,

My life is comprised of a series of stitches, some boldly visible, while others more discrete, waiting to be revealed. On this Juneteenth, my place is one of silence.

My practice is to learn, to read, to reflect, to listen.

I’ll be back with a proper newsletter next week.

As always, I hope you are well, safe & finding meaningful ways to care for one another. Thank you for reading and for your support ~ xosew

and so we begin

Please join in a virtual bimonthly writing circle:

Monday, June 22, 7-8:15 pm ET

We will begin with a short meditation, followed by quiet time to journal, and hold the spaciousness of uncertainty. No previous writing experience required just a willingness to practice, a pen, and paper.

While there is no charge to participate, a $5 donation is suggested. 100% of funds received for the first circle will be contributed to Black Lives Matter and the Obama Foundation. Payment collected via Venmo @Sarah-Webb-28 or PayPal to sew.rochester@gmail.com
