Your life has meaning. Your story deserves to be told.

In this inspiring 8-week writing workshop, you’ll reflect on the defining moments, lessons, and values that have shaped your life—and begin turning them into a written legacy. Whether you're writing for yourself, your loved ones, or future generations, this workshop will guide you in capturing your story with clarity, honesty, and heart.

Through engaging prompts, personal storytelling, and creative exercises, you'll discover your unique voice, revisit powerful memories, and learn to write with emotional depth and vivid detail. Each session builds your confidence and helps you uncover the stories that matter most.

The workshop is structured to allow plenty of time between sessions to write, contemplate and explore before meeting again as a community.

What You’ll Gain:

A clearer understanding of your personal life themes.

Confidence to begin (or continue) writing your life stories.

Techniques for writing with authenticity and voice.

A supportive group space for sharing and reflection.
