Telling the Truth about Our Lives: The Art of Autobiography<br>August 13-17, 2008


This workshop will give you the tools you need to tell your story in the context of a supportive community. We will do many writing explorations to bring forth this rich storytelling capacity within each of us. We will examine issues of memory, how we reframe a story with each telling, working to discover its meaning and power to heal on both the personal and communal level. We will also explore ways to honor/write about that which we can’t remember – due to factors such as trauma or unknown family history – so that the struggle with memory, where useful, can become part of our narrative.

Leaders: Anya Achtenberg and Demetria Martinez
Time: Wednesday, 7 pm – Sunday, 1 pm
