We’re so excited to welcome acclaimed poet, memoirist, and GWG member Carmen Bugan to our Late Spring Studio this Thursday, July 2, at 17.00 CET, for a special conversation on memory, witness, language, and the transformative possibilities of writing. ✨

Author of the award-winning memoir “Burying the Typewriter” and several celebrated poetry collections, Carmen’s work explores life under dictatorship, exile, survival, and the ways language can carry even the most difficult histories.

Carmen will be in conversation with Andra Otilia Nicolescu , followed by an audience Q&A, generative writing prompts inspired by the themes of the evening, and time for optional sharing and reflection.

GWG founder Susan Tiberghien is leading a live online workshop with the Jung Society of Washington this Saturday, June 27, entitled “My Soul, Where Are You?”

Drawing on C.G. Jung, contemplative practice, and her decades of work as a writer and teacher, Susan will guide participants through four parts: what the soul is and how we have understood her across the centuries; how to find her through silent prayer, journal writing, and the imaginal world; how to listen to her through active imagination, dreams, mandalas, and nature; and finally, how to carry her light outward into a broken world that urgently needs it.

The workshop runs Saturday, June 27, 10am–1pm EST (4–7pm Geneva time) via Zoom. Please note it will not be recorded.

A beautiful offering from the woman who built this community. We hope you’ll join her!

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.”
