Writing Heart and Soul in Your Memoir
Seven Mondays
6:30-9 pm EST
Dates: 1/26 – 3/16 (OFF 2/16)
Your life holds stories that demand to be told. Writing Heart and Soul in Your Memoir invites you to slow down, listen inward, and revise those stories with care. Through creative exploration, you’ll write and revise with emotional resonance, capturing the moments that matter, and weaving deep emotional reflection into your narrative. This is a gentle, nourishing space where your memories—and your voice—can unfold.
In this class, you can expect:
- Detailed instructor feedback on your work that is designed to help you write and revise your story to reflect its core emotional journey.
- Suggestions for reading that supports the memoir you want to write.
- Group feedback that uplifts and supports your voice.
