Overview

For many adults’ memories, childhood is fantasized as a magical time of play and discovery. But we too easily forget the fact that the world is also frightening and overwhelming to a child.

This short course will draw on the work of novelist James Agee, and poets Anne Sexton and Dylan Thomas as apertures into that time as an invitation for each of us to re-member and to discern what “stories” persist for us today.

>> For people of all ages who want to see their childhood past in a new light

>> For writers and poets who want to deepen their perceptions and stories

>> For therapists and counselors

>> For everyone who wants to live their journey fully
