*Public Service Announcement*

*For Immediate Release*





*The Oak Table Sessions – Writing Workshop for Women with local writer
Lorna Tureski*
8 session, beginning Tuesday, January 26, 10 am – 12 noon
Caetani Centre, 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd. Vernon, BC


Lorna Tureski was born in Hope, BC and spent her early years just past
Hell’s Gate. The Fraser Canyon’s intense geography may have sparked her
interest in exploring the fluidity with which one may travel between the
practical and the sacred, reconciling the hot-breath intimacy of living and
dying and all that is between. Wild Sage Press published Lorna’s
collaboratively written play *We’re Already Home*, in 2014. Lorna has an
MFA from UBCO and is finishing the final draft of her first novel.


The Oak Table Sessions writing workshops are for women who would like to
integrate writing more deeply into their lives.


In this series aspiring writers will practice applying the techniques of
fiction to their life stories.


One of Lorna’s favourite quotes is from writer Joan Didion: “I write
entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and
what it means. What I want and what I fear.”


She encourages women to “Bring your tales, whoppers, mythical events,
birth, death experiences and anything else you might want to get down on
paper. Or just show up and write from the prompts I will give you. Learn
how to breathe life into your stories. “


Space is limited, so participants are advised to register early.
Registration can be completed on-line at www.caetani.ca.
