Join a (Virtual) Memoir Writing Workshop

I’ve written before about the benefits of memoir writing workshops. The exploration, the learning, the bonding. They are all for the taking when workshop participants embrace the concept of writing their life stories (two pages at a time, according to my style) and sharing their stories with other participants.

What’s different about today from the last time I shared this information, of course, is that we’re facing a pandemic. Social distancing is the way of the world. The good news is that memoir writing workshops are as beneficial through Zoom and similar platforms as they are in face-to-face environments. Exploration, learning, and yes, bonding all happen in comparable measures online. I know from my teaching experience that the computer screen is no barrier when it comes to humans who are open to making personal connections.

So, if you’re looking to socialize in what is now month six of too much isolation, it may be the perfect time to join a virtual memoir writing class. I’m thrilled to be offering one through my local community center come October but these workshops are available everywhere and they are goldmines for personal growth.

If you’d like more information, please let me know. I’d be delighted to welcome you into my class or direct you to other resources in your own area.

Stay well and safe!
