Blood Lines Monthly
​
​
​
We are happy to announce Blood Lines Monthly, a series of gatherings for women-identifying and nonbinary central Pennsylvanians to share stories, poetry, writings, and other language arts about reproductive experiences. These gatherings build on the community that has formed over the last two years of honoring, celebrating, and telling our truths about reproductive experiences through the Blood Lines events we've held in the fall of 2023 and 2024 and look forward to holding again in the fall of 2025.
​
Blood Lines gatherings began on Tuesday March 25th and will continue through 2025 monthly on Tuesdays from 7-8:30 PM. We welcome new voices, along with those who have experienced past Blood Lines programs. Join anytime! Workshop participants need not commit to performing in the Blood Lines event this coming fall in order to attend these monthly gatherings.

What Roots & Blooms participants are saying:
​
"What really worked for me in this workshop was being able to be in a group and learn from each other and also have time to learn on my own. Having the space to explore and listen to new parts of myself was nourishing."
​
"I enjoyed the teaching artist's guidance and calm, centered facilitation. She was encouraging, nonjudgmental, and terrific with giving feedback when folks shared. I liked her prompts and how she presented them. I also loved hearing stories from her past and culture. This was a gift and an inspiration."
