Youth: Pursuing Our Magic

with Lachlan Malachi

Next session: September 13th to November 15th, 2026

As Audre Lorde says, we need to “recognize and nurture the creative parts of each other without always understanding what will be created.” In this six-week circle, we’ll explore the creative parts of ourselves that are familiar and that are new, and get excited about what we might build together through creative community. Using writing and other crafts, we’ll dig deep to discover our own unique kinds of magic and self-expression.

  • Co-facilitated by: Hannah Simon Goldman and Lachlan Malachi.
