SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women's Self Care\, March\, 2024 - with Kim Gaubault (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \nMarch: Black Love Goals: Loving the Skin We’re In\nApril: I Know What I Know: Embracing Our Divine Power(s)\nMay: Under the Influence: Ancestral Knowledge and Discerning Our Truth\nJune: Embodying the Exhale: Breathing as an Act of Resistance \nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 \nper session. Choose the price that fits your budget. \nRegister for March below. \nRegister for April: HERE; May: HERE; June: HERE. \nRegistrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.

SUMMARY:Writing Great Essays with Shawna Ayoub (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:I hesitated for years about trying my hand at creative writing\, convinced I was not actually “a Writer” because if I were\, I’d have written a book or something already. . . I had no idea that there were concrete exercises you could do to prod your creativity and get your imagination flowing\, and I was often surprised at what I came up with!  Shawna created a safe\, supportive\, encouraging space in which to step out on a limb and try. It was challenging\, fun\, rewarding\, and totally worthwhile! \n— Elaine\nIn this workshop\, we will dive into the tenets of what makes a great essay\, troubleshoot writer’s block\, and work on enhancing our essays at the sentence level. Our aim will be to generate a framework for developing or already-written essays in order to better understand our own goals for the finished product. Whether you are seeking information about essay writing or trying to heighten your already-written essay\, this workshop is for you. \nWriters will take home a packet of writing examples  as well as prompts\, and can contact Shawna for written feedback within two weeks of this workshop. \nLeader: Shawna Ayoub is a brown\, queer\, Durham-based writer and instructor whose work prioritizes the engagement of difficult topics. After recognizing the personal benefits of writing for release and recovery\, she has made her practice public for the last 12 years\, offering courses independently as well as through the Center for Creative Writing. Her work has appeared in Verywell Mind\, Survivor Lit\, Exit 7\, [wherever]\, The Archipelago\, and The Manifest-Station. Learn more about Shawna here. \nCost: $75\, $100. Scholarships available. Please contact info@rcwms.org. \nRegister below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
