8 session, beginning Tuesday, January 26, 10 am – 12 noon<br>

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 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">We’re Already Home</i>, in 2014. Lorna has
an MFA from UBCO and is finishing the final draft of her first novel.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial">The Oak Table
Sessions writing workshops are for women who would like to integrate writing
more deeply into their lives.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial">In this series
aspiring writers will practice applying the techniques of fiction to their life
stories. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial">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.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial">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. “</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:14pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Arial">Space
