SUMMARY:Letters of Our Lives: A Deep Dive into "The Correspondent" (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:If you were asked to sit down and write a letter to someone important in your life\, to whom would you address it? A dear friend? A former teacher? A favorite author? Someone you need to forgive–or need forgiveness from? \nThe Correspondent by Virginia Evans is a novel told entirely through letters composed by Sybil Van Antwerp\, a stubborn\, 73-year-old retired lawyer living alone in Maryland. In Sybil’s letters to friends\, loved ones and even strangers\, she explores themes of suffering\, forgiveness\, secrecy\, family and connection. Evans describes Sybil as a person who “has survived trauma\, grief\, and lost love. She keeps her secrets close and edits her pain. The letters are so deliciously crafted\, Sybil’s life itself becomes a work of art.” Sybil believes “the letters one sends out into the world\, the letters received back in turn\, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle…each letter means something.” \nIn this program\, participants will explore Sybil’s life and the variety of characters in the novel with whom she corresponds. We will make personal connections to the novel by writing our own series of letters to people who have impacted our lives. \nPlease Note: Reading the book is essential to the program and should be read in advance of the gathering. You will enjoy it! \nDATE: Thursday\, July 23\, 2026 \nTIME: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nCOST: $40 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.
