Journal Writing
Wednesday, Nov. 18 -- 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. -- ACC Madeline Briggs Center 143
Journal writing is a first step for creating stories, capturing memories, and exploring our ideas and feelings. This is writing for fun and insight in a no-pressure atmosphere. You can write in response to prompts or about whatever you choose. Participants can do as much or as little writing and sharing as time allows. The purpose is to have an hour devoted to exploring the creative spirit through writing. Bring paper or a journal, pens or pencils or a computer - whatever you need to be comfortable for writing.
Hosted by Mary Ann Krajnik Crawford who is a personal journal writer and was a teacher of writing. She retired from Central Michigan University as an emeritus professor of English and director of the Writing Center and continues to write for fun.
Mysticism and Mystics Throughout the Ages
Thursday, Nov. 19 -- 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. -- ACC Madeline Briggs Center 140
Have you ever wondered about mysticism? What is it, what makes someone a mystic, who are some of the famous mystics? For example, remember Dag Hammarskjӧld?
