Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture is pleased to collaborate with Swim Pony and the Pennsylvania Environmental Council in delivering a workshop by donia harhoor. This generative writing workshop explores what waterways hold for us in terms of memory, story, vitality, and gifts while considering distillation as a poetic re-visioning process. We will be engaging hands-on with three different floral waters much beloved in the SWANA region. Each of these three will uniquely accompany us through prompts intended to guide us towards the true essence of what we are writing about. Register here!
