Yumi and Her Influences: The Art Behind the Inspiration

Discussion-based • Medium intensity
Join me for a read through of Brandon Sanderson's Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.

But, instead of your regular re-read we'll be doing so through the lens of the works which inspired him: The manga/anime Hikaru no Go, the game Final Fantasy X, and the animated film Your Name.

To get the most out of the class it would be helpful to have read Yumi" at least once and have some basic familiarity with each of the inspiring texts. While we'll be reading Yumi together over the month, from the first class we'll dive right in with discussions on the whole book.

There will also be some optional assigned reading/watching/playing of the inspiring texts, but we will not be able to cover all of what they offer.

Mistborn: The Final Empire (Cosmere Club)

Discussion-based • High intensity
"You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way." - Breeze

Don't let Breeze dissuade you, come join us for this module where we'll read (and yes talk about) Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn: The Final Empire.

Book-talk is always welcome!

Mistborn: The Hero of Ages (Cosmere Club)

Discussion-based • High intensity
Join us as we continue our exploration of the Cosmere with the final book in the original Mistborn trilogy.

Whether or not you've taken the preceding modules or not, all that we ask is that you come to this class ready to have a great time diving into Sanderson's Cosmere through our group discussions.

Mistborn: The Well of Ascension (Cosmere Club)

Discussion-based • High intensity
Join us as we continue our exploration of the Cosmere with the second book in the original Mistborn trilogy.

Whether you've taken the first module or not, all that we ask is that you come to this class ready to have a great time diving into Sanderson's Cosmere through our group discussions.

Preparing for the Year Ahead

Discussion-based • Medium intensity
In this module we'll work together to create individual goals, projects, and action plans for the year to come and establish a journaling system to keep you accountable. We'll also cover techniques that I've found helpful and figure out how they best apply to you individually.

Each class will begin with a 10-15 minute mini-lecture, but the class will be largely workshop based.

To get the most out of this class expect to spend 1-2 hours outside of each class session and be prepared to share your personal goals and projects in class so that we can help each other refine and reach our goals.

This module will be divided into four main parts:
  • Theme & Goal Setting
  • Journaling
  • Time Management
  • Action

Sanderson's Mistborn Series (Cosmere Club) Non-Sequential Series

Discussion-based • High intensity
Come join us for the first iteration of Cosmere Club--a friendly, book-club styled series of modules-- exploring Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere." We will begin Cosmere Club with an exploration of Sanderson's Mistborn series.
