Collective World Building Workshop (September 27th from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM): Join author Jay VanLandingham for a unique, interactive workshop rooted in visionary storytelling and collective imagination. We’ll begin with a reading from Sentient Being followed by a Q&A, then shift into a collaborative worldbuilding session where participants co-create fictional futures that reflect the values, systems, and communities we long for. Together, we’ll explore how speculative storytelling can move beyond the page—becoming a tool for justice, healing, and real-world transformation. No writing experience needed—just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to dream together. LOCATION: Boxelder Community Room – 4573 Hamilton Avenue. REGISTRATION LINK COMING SOON!
