Book Club: Liberation Day - Stories

Submitted by Full Circle on Tue, 10/25/2022 - 13:28

Monthly meet up to discuss a great read, along with drinks & good company

This December we meet around George Saunders' latest collection of short stories. One that masterfully explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with fellow humans. Saunders' trademark prose — wickedly funny, unsentimental, and exquisitely tuned — challenges and surprises. This is a collection of prismatic, resonant stories that encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.

Submitted by Full Circle on Tue, 10/25/2022 - 13:12

Let's face it, we're not always very nice to ourselves. We tend to be hypercritical and filled with false beliefs about our own character and ability. How can we "reauthor" the stories we tell about ourselves?

This workshop is part of David Labi's regular series of dynamic, interactive, and intimate personal-growth workshops at Full Circle.

SILENTE, From Idea to Exhibition: The Creative Process

Submitted by Full Circle on Tue, 10/25/2022 - 13:09

Artist Anna Piratti joins us for an intimate conversation on her very own creative process for her latest unusual work.

Her latest series of paintings speaks of the silent force that manifests itself every day in front of our eyes, taking different forms. It is fleeting, subtle, inexplicable. And Anna's work seeks to grasp it - with elegant results. How did all just come about? Hear the story from her and take a close look at the paintings before they return home.
