Summerland Community Cultural Development Committee (CCDC) presents:
The Summerland Philosophers’ Cafés – 2012 Season
Wednesday, February 29 - Writing and Consciousness
Join Allison Rennie for an evening of thinking, talking, and writing together!
“Writing of all kinds allows us to express ourselves, to communicate ideas, to entertain, to engage the heart – but more than that writing contributes to the emergence of deeper awareness of ourselves, our communities, and our world. Writing can result from deepening consciousness, and contribute to this same process.”
Allison loves to play with story, with images and words. She is a gifted teacher and deeply passionate about nurturing the spirituality of people all ages. Allison loves a good mystery, a great movie, a fresh loaf of bread, a moment of learning, a good question, big work, and a deep conversation – in any order! Currently Allison is working on her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Writing and Consciousness.
Former Summerlander, now living in Naramata, Allison Rennie, has worked with children, youth, young adults and their leaders for more than 25 years in a wide variety of contexts. She served for 12 years as a Program Director at Naramata Centre where her responsibilities included program leadership and design of the foundational program, Winter Session for Young Adults.
