Course Information:

Writing a memoir of your life, or some aspect of it, can be a wonderfully fulfilling and healing process. Whether you aim for publication or not, write it for your offspring or yourself, shaping your story helps make sense of things and offers an opportunity to reflect on the deeper meaning of your life. This workshop will encourage special reflection on exploring spiritual meaning, but will also provide a safe, supportive, confidential space where you will find a voice, purpose, confidence and inspiration; tackle form, structure, story-telling; practise dialogue (and humour!); consider ethical issues; and review your experiences in a new and uplifting way.
