Founded in 1993, the GWG brings together writers with the objective to encourage all forms of creative writing in English and to create a supportive community for both new writers and published authors.

We’re pleased to invite readers to the English-language launch of “The Force of Living” by Geneva-based author Marie-Antoinette Micheli, moderated by Geneva Writers Group Steering Committee member Andra Otilia Nicolescu.

More than a book, “The Force of Living” is a call to reconnect—with life, with the living world, and with our own capacity for transformation. Through an intimate journey of collapse and regeneration, Micheli reflects on resilience, meaning, motherhood, ecology, and what it means to remain alive and responsive in a time of profound uncertainty.

The evening will include a reading by the author, followed by conversation, audience Q&A, and an apéro.

📅 Thursday, 4 June | 19:00–20:30
📍 Chemin du Bornalet 9, 1242 Satigny
🎟️ Free and open to all

RSVP via the link in bio or by email: [email protected]

“To live is not to endure, but to regenerate, to reconnect, and to rise with the living.”
