I think many people need, even require, a narrative version of their life. I seem to be one of them. Writing memoir is, in some ways, a work of wholeness. —Sue Monk Kidd

Only you have lived your story. And only you know the lessons learned, the memories gathered, the people who impacted you, and the choices that shaped your life. Memoir is a form of legacy. It passes your story, like a torch, to the next generation. Sharing your life can be an intimidating venture—but perhaps you are reading this because the story you’ve lived will not be silent until you put it on paper? Or maybe you just want to piece the past together to understand it better? Whatever has drawn you to take a memoir class, be assured that the risk is worth the gain. In Memoir—The power of Your Story, writing is not only an act of self-reflection but also a celebration of life in all its colors. Each participant will have more than one opportunity to submit five pages of memoir for class feedback. All levels are welcome. So come and let your story begin.
