Write Your Story
2024-01-21 11:30 - 12:30 | On Zoom
An experience of writing your life stories
Group-led. Register for the Zoom event:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYod-Cprj4rGNyqjG3ThXMEbPn4DOnwo2z-
Stories, memories, tales of the past, call them what you will, memories matter. History paints a broad picture of the world, national and local times, and events but says little about the individuals who lived through those times. Memories are not experiences to be relived and constantly aired, but to be looked at learned from, and shared so the future may see how life used to be.
Each month this group comes together to develop writing skills, inspire each other, and share stories. A topic for writing is chosen by the group at the end of each session. Each session is group-facilitated.
Materials; Journal, Life is a Song, Sing It by Joyce Riley (Optional)
