Come Write With Me: Monday Oct 28th in Oakland

It’s been an exciting past 5 weeks leading High Holy day services at Kol HaEmek in Redwood Valley with a broken arm! We are now gearing up for another creative event and hope to see you there. Please pass this on to friends of yours that may be interested.

As a part of the Reimagine End of Life Week in the Bay Area, on Mon, 10/28, Judith and I will facilitate a 2-hr creative writing workshop utilizing her solo performance “Welcome to the Cancer Cafe” to help attendees unearth new ideas and stories about life and death.

Kehilla Community Synagogue 1300 Grand Ave. Piedmont CA

6:30-8:30 PM

$15 suggested donation at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.

*Please bring a journal*

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SEE JUDITH’S REVISED SHOW AT THE SF MARSH

PLEASE READ JUDITH’S LETTER BELOW:

Dear colleague, I am inviting you to my solo performance about the journey from being diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer through a stem cell transplant.

Many people respond to devastating news with creativity. I’m Judith C., a Physical Therapist diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma at age 58. I responded in just this way, and created “Welcome to the Cancer Cafe” to serve as a tool to educate medical providers, patients and caregivers.

Originally performed at various medical institutions and cancer support groups, the show garnered momentum and acclaim, and is now a part of the SF Marsh’s “Rising Series,” which showcases and offers rising talent with the possibility of a theatrical run.

Please join me in this excitement on 11/6 at 7:30pm! With your support (by attending and/or sharing the event with your communities), I may reach the attention of more facilities, institutions, schools, as well as the general community, for we all know that it is rare to meet someone who has not been touched by the impact of cancer in some manner.

*Show details are available at www.facebook.com/events/723557784736593.
*Begins promptly at 7:30pm. Run-time is approx. 60min.
*Tickets are $15. Please purchase tickets in advance here.
**All proceeds will be donated to the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic supporting and empowering low-income women with cancer.

With great respect,

Judith C.

    Wonderful – I won’t be able to come to either but I will spread the word. Thinking of you – how is the arm healing?

    Love Venus
