"PLAY" ONLINE
REGISTRATION HAS STARTED!
Theme Speaker
Minister Of The
Week:
"Walking with others, as they make meaning out of their lives, is some of the most important work I do. I am light on the journey and seek to help the people I serve as they explore faith, embrace hope and lay claim to their personal theology. My work is centered on helping others look inward to grow their spirits, and then gaze outward, replenished and ready to serve the world.” Rev. CTC is passionate about Interfaith Activism, Seeking Justice, Crafting Exuberant Worship, Prophetic Preaching, Travel, and Small-Batch bourbon. She enjoys reading thrillers and contemporary poetry, day hikes and live music in small venues (blues, folk, classic rock and a bit of country). Carol also finds JOY in collecting the masterworks of Native American and First Nations Peoples artists, rooting for the Washington Nationals baseball team, parenting 2 amazing adult children and stealing kisses from her delicious grandson Andrew as often as she can.

When we meet others we say where we’re from and what we do in life within the limited patterns of most social or
work settings. The Writing Circle is a refreshing way to discover different
aspects of yourself and others in a warm, inspiring, and supportive
environment.
I define a writer as someone who writes - so whether you are a seasoned
writer or would like to write for the first time, you are welcome to
come to this workshop.
Best of all, there is no wrong way to do this! Each day I provide a “spark”, an open-ended
invitation that will kindle your memories,
stories, and thoughts for a spontaneous short write. There is an opportunity, always optional, to share what you’ve just
written. I have found that we often hear ourselves for the first time when we read aloud.
You give a gift to listeners, who in turn give you a gift of attentive
and deep listening. Feedback is always kind, encouraging, honest, and specific. Each workshop day is unique so feel free to attend one day,
some days, or every day. Please bring your preferred writing implement and a notebook.

In
Acting and Improvisation, we'll be learning the basic tenets of
acting, and will play with each other by "living truthfully in
imaginary circumstances", as a famous acting teacher said.
Getting in touch with your emotions and learning not to censor your
gut reaction can not only help with acting, presenting, and
interacting with people, but can help you learn a lot about
yourself! We will start by really learning how to listen and respond
to another person, then bring that into improvisation games and even
small scripted scenes. You can drop in to a couple of meetings just
to learn to open up and play, or come the whole week to build up a
whole new skill!
