Story as Gift: Writing to and for Friends and Family
Story as Gift: Writing To and For Friends and Family
Monday, Dec 2, and Mon, Dec 9, from 6-8pm on Zoom - $90
Many of us want to share the stories of our most treasured memories with the people we love. Perhaps we even want to compile them into a “big book of my whole life …” but feel daunted by the scale of that task. It is easy to feel overwhelmed or to not be sure where to begin.
So start here! – with the intention of writing a single story to give as a present this holiday season.
This two-part online writing workshop will provide structure and space for crafting a brief personal story from your life to give as a gift for someone dear to you. Both sessions will include time to write and opportunities to reflect on and share your work with other participants.
Note: This class requires approximately 60 minutes of work outside of class, between the two sessions.
