The title for this workshop and its specific menu is not yet solidified, but what is certain is that the three of us are planning a wild and wonderful weekend of creativity, discovery and un-binding of the constraints of Self. Ariane Price is the lead teacher for the Groundlings, an improvisational sketch and comedy school in LA; Ammi Midstokke is a beloved columnist for the Spokesman-Review, gifted writing guide, and author;  Sarah Conover, author, teacher and Dharma bum, conceived of this idea to see what kind of magic and transformation might just sweep each and every one of us up!

Sarah will be the subject of a History Channel program on November 28, 10 PM PST. The series Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters will devote an entire episode to Sarah Conover’s story about the loss of her family at sea, and her growing up as an orphan.

Join Sarah for a solo reading of excerpts from her memoir, Set Adrift: My Family’s Disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle, a Mystery and a Memoir. There will also be a Q and A to follow the reading and discussion of the History Channel’s upcoming episode in December as part of their “Into the Bermuda Triangle: The Cursed Waters” series in which divers and scientists will have searched—and possibly have found—her family’s boat.

The youngest of two orphans, Sarah Conover grew up never knowing her parents and grandparents—those who were lost. Set Adrift, Conover’s hybrid memoir, weaves her life story with interviews, official Coast Guard reports, and the national media’s investigation of the Revonoc’s fate, to chart her life story and the mystery of her family’s disappearance.

       Interrogating Travel: Travelers may be taken by the sea to places far away for pleasure, or taken never to return, as happened to Paul Lindholdt’s son. Interrogating Travel tells that story. Travel also causes slow violence to the planet – via carbon spewed by planes – and to Indigenous people via encroachments on their lands. One antidote the book prescribes is to reinvest in local environs by hiking, kayaking, birdwatching, and by looking closely at the web of life.

Bittersweet, a Writing Workshop: On Finding the Language for Loss and Love

Please join Sarah Conover for a 2-hour writing workshop addressing the tender terrain of grief. Grief has a life of its own—sometimes hidden, sometimes numb, sometimes raw and painful. Writing uses a part of the brain that is offline in our day-to-day activities, but which can allow grief to discover its own voice, be better understood and metabolized in our lives. Sarah will introduce some overall theories for trauma/grief-informed writing, provide prompts to generate your words and a safe container for personal exploration during the workshop and in the future. 

Please register at Spokane Library Events Please also bring a writing pad, pen/pencil

Join Sarah on the release date of her memoir, Set Adrift: My Family’s Disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle, a Mystery and a Memoir. This is an in-person event in the new Community Room at the new Winthrop Library!
