Limit: 20
Box lunch included with registration.

What does it mean to belong? In the history of humankind, the tribes we are born into—ethnic or religious—have furnished our sense of identity, place, and community. Today, we inhabit the global village, and we may find ourselves questioning our affinity to our tribal roots. If belonging is something we inherit, our affinities to groups beyond our tribe are what we choose. Through selected stories, essays and film excerpts, we will explore the dynamic of our connections—our relationship to our legacy of belonging. How do we seek strength within our inherited boundaries? When, and why, do we feel the need to transcend them?

Eden Elieff, MFA, has taught both fiction and memoir writing to students of all ages and levels of experience, in schools, including Rice University, and in private workshops. Her stories and essays have appeared in various literary magazines throughout the country, and her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
