Resolve of the Meeting:
Break-out Portion &/or Dynamic Education Session:
A Skill Share, Interactive Presentation, Personal Development Workshop, or Service will be chosen beforehand to ensure that a polled topic of interest is covered at the meeting.
However, participants may prefer the alternative to opt-out and enjoy the amenities of the Rec Center for the final hour with no agenda.
Or participate in a Break-out Session of smaller groups to go more in-depth with a subject that evolved in the Catalyst Session.
Or complete an exercise from the SMART Recovery Handbook.
This helps instill the practice to move beyond the subjects discussed in the first segment's check-in and into a response to the challenges that are collectively and individually faced by our Community.
Beginning in June
FAE Creatives Guild
Every First Wednesday 6p-8p
Crawfordsville District Public Library
205 S Washington St &, Crawfordsville, IN 47933
Creativity and Artistic expression can take many forms. For many of us in the LGBTQIA2S+ Community, Theater, Music, Film, Art, Crafting, and working with our hands has provided us with a way to express ourselves on a deeper level and be better understood.
Come gather with like-minded imaginative folks and share your talents, bring a project to work on, and plan events to showcase your talent!
QWÄ’RTY Writers Guild
Every Third Saturday 6:30p-8p
Wabash Avenue Presbyterian Church
307 S Washington St, Crawfordsville, IN 47933
FAE invites all writers and folks interested in expressing themselves through the written word to join us every third Saturday of the month at Wabash Avenue Presbyterian Church from 6:30pm to 8pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
Gwynn Wills, an Amherst Writers and Artists Affiliate Workshop Leader, will be our guide on a journey of self-expression and radical visibility. We will explore our response to current events, our vision of the future, and our reflections on the past.
Drawing from prompts inspired by great Queer Writers, we will create our own stories in our own voices that we will be able to cherish for years to come.
As we build our personal portfolios, folks will be invited to submit their pieces to an anthology to be published and printed. Each author featured in the anthology will receive a free copy of our book and the book will be distributed for sale in Montgomery County,
Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Humans United for Equality.
