In our Book and Cake classes, we form a community around words and ideas. Young people are in charge of their own stories and poetry. We listen to each other carefully and reflect what we notice. Which words helped us see an image clearly? Which line bought forth an emotion? Which character felt real and why?

This is a supportive environment where we let our creative juices flow. We laugh a lot. We also eat cake and other desserts, have tea, and cuddle Duck Duck the dog. We meet on Sundays and over the summer for intensive camp/workshops.
