[Wamvan] Invitation - dialogue, creative exploration of identities: queer, feminist and Christian

[jana g]

Spring 2014 Greetings WamVan ~ Natalie Tami and Jenna ...

janaJuniper here ... and, Jenna - Welcome to the west coast  :)

I would be interested in attending a Spoken Word / interactive
space workshop next month (if possible) ...  Living on the island
does make getting to the city more involved so my hopes are
that the day and time can work out for me.

Please and Thanks for keeping me in the loop on this Natalie
and I look forward to the possibility of meeting you Jenna and
being a part of your upcoming workshop, etc.

and, All the best to you Tami on your workshop / tour.

Later
