🌿 Join us at the IPRC on Sunday April 23nd from 2-3:15 pm for Reimagining the Language of Pain with claire barrera and Meredith Butner, editors & creators of When Language Runs Dry 🖊

In this workshop we will use writing and collage activities to explore language beyond the pain scale. We are so often asked to describe pain using a limited collection of words, numbers and symbols. While this may be helpful from a clinical standpoint, it can feel reductive, leaving us with too narrow a vocabulary for a complicated experience. All people are welcome, especially folks experiencing chronic pain. Feel free to bring blankets, pillows, and anything else you need to feel cozy. Free – sliding scale. Register here. 

Stick around after the workshop and browse the Zine Library during open hours! 📚
