Creating Connection & Meaningful Activities (Kitchener)

I think we did this topic a long time ago, but I'm short on ideas and we could use a little laughter this time of year so let's talk about it again. Besides, if you were there you probably don't remember what we talked about and you may have some new jokes or funny stories to share.

I was so uninspired today that I even tried to get AI to write this post, but it came out super corny…even cornier than me. I think it was trying too hard to be funny so it fell flat. Plus, humour is definitely something that needs a human touch in my opinion.

Do you consider yourself funny? I've noticed for myself that kids think I'm hilarious, but adults are a much tougher audience. I'm not too sure what that says?

So whether you think you're funny or not, join us for a light-hearted conversation about humour and the role it plays in our lives. Bring your jokes, but keep them tasteful. I suppose that's subjective so we can talk about that too. Hope to see you Thursday! New faces are always welcomed :)

LOCATION:
To accommodate our growing numbers and need for a quieter space we will be meeting in a church community hall listed below (this is not a religious gathering).

Release Your Inner Writer
Release Your Inner Writer is for anyone who feels they are a writer, wants to be a writer, or those who want to explore writing in a comfortable and supportive setting. We’ll set the stage for you to write creatively with opportunities to share with the group, or not, whatever you’re comfortable with.

Have you ever thought: “I have an interesting story, but I don’t know how to start sharing it with people”? Have you ever thought of writing a book? Do you simply want to start journaling? Every person has a story to share, and all of them are transformational for us and sometimes for others. When we write our thoughts and ideas down, we move internal content to an external device like a notebook or a laptop. By doing this we’re able to clear our heads and uncover one layer after another.

Hosted by Kathy Nutt
Kathy Nutt is a creative who uses many media and styles to convey a glimpse into her mysterious, whimsical world. Although mainly focused on the visual arts, she dabbles in the written word and is endeavoring to cultivate a consistent practice of writing, whether it be poetry, essays, short stories, or journaling.
Kathy believes a writing practice (along with any creative practice) is a beneficial way to break through the mundane and view our worlds through fresh new eyes. We may discover a breakthrough, change a pattern, or just experience catharsis. Or we may simply arrive in a place of joy. She believes the creative process is more important than the finished product and that creativity is for everyone, not just the gifted few.
