Would you like to honor the vastness of your life experience? Document personal memories, life lessons, observations and stories for family, friends and, perhaps, even editors? Might be a legacy document, a personal essay or a short memoir. Please join us for this fun, insightful and supportive 2.5 hour writing retreat. You’ll do exercises designed to get the creative juices flowing, jog memories and identify recurring themes. Sharing is encouraged but optional. I bring story examples to read as well as provide a handout with writing tips as well as places to submit stories for those who are interested in pursuing that route.
