Mapping Your Resources in Times of Crisis 4/19

The novel Tilt imagines the Pacific Northwest completely devastated by a massive earthquake. The characters must find the courage and community to rebuild their lives and create new life after much tragedy. Using artistic mapping techniques, we will explore our internal and external resources that are available to help us navigate crises large and small. Using black paper, colored pencils, and acrylic markers we will create a colorful map of personal tools and local resources that are helpful to us during crises. 

Registration is required, and is limited to 12 participants per session. Two sessions will be offered, April 12 and 19. No artistic experience necessary. Adults 18+. For additional information and registration, visit lakeoswegoreads.org/register
