Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly) Description: Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio. We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention. Then we’ll practice step by step: • Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light • Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes) • Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement • Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper (Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment) You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning. What to bring: Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind. All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper). Level: Open to beginners — no experience needed. Meeting point: 📍 Parc Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves Parc Naturel Départemental Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves 🕒 22.02.2026, 10:00 AM (duration: 1–1.5 hours) Spots: Limited to keep the atmosphere calm. Please RSVP. How to join / contact: Send me a message on Meetup or DM “Calligraphy in the Park” for the next dates.

This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
