Building Bridges

These workshops are two-hour-long versions of the hub workshops, each with a bridge-building theme, taught by trained Herstory facilitators who continue to work under the supervision of our founder and artistic director.

Huntington Black, Brown and White Building Bridges Workshop

Our Huntington “Black Brown and White” bridge-building group is co-sponsored by the Huntington branch of the NAACP and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Huntington, with some grant money from the Unitarian Universalist Association Fund for Social Responsibility available directly through the congregation to help those who are unable to pay. This workshop brings together women across those racial and cultural divides that so often keep us from hearing one another, and serves as a welcoming site for women who started to write in our prison workshops. Scholarships are available for this workshop. Taught by Lonnie Mathis, the workshop meets Tuesdays, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., at the Huntington Station Enrichment Center, 1264 New York Ave. click here for flyer

Patchogue Bilingual

Modeled on our previous work in Farmingville, this workshop is part of a larger Herstory initiative to use writing in a plan to fight hate in communities that have been divided by violence. It was formed following the murder of Ecuadorian resident Marcelo Lucero. Taught by Silvia Heredia, this workshop is for Spanish- speaking and English- speaking women. A series of three workshops is scheduled for Fridays, December 3, 10 and 17, 9:30 - 11:30 AM at Patchogue Head Start. Funded by NYSCA and Knapp-Swezey Foundation.
