The Story of My Life

Write about, recall and realise the richness of your story

Memories start to shine at a 'Story of My Life' workshop.

Why? Because your story deserves to be told.

Where and when

Nov 21, 2010

Time: 9.30am to 4pm

Eden Garden, Omana Ave, Epsom, Auckland

Do it for YOU

We've all experienced big moments in our lives, but we don't reflect on them often. And that's a shame because we are nothing without our histories. This day is a great way to appreciate and deepen your story. The writing we will do can be the start of a journal you create for your own satisfaction - or act as the bones of a family history that other people will love to read. You come from a long line of strong, gutsy people. You wouldn't be here if that wasn't true. By writing about your life you're doing them proud, enriching your own memories and making the most of your creativity.

No prior writing experience is necessary. I'll use the skills learnt in my many years of editing to help you write with clarity and strength.

Why this day now?

You'll create a unique notebook that you'll want to keep adding to once you've returned home. As you progress, you will gain more understanding of the steps that have brought you this far. Soon you'll be setting down the evidence of a life well-lived - your life, with all your memories of complexity, richness, drama and humour. It can be part-memoir, part-vision document, part-storehouse of everything that's important to you.

Sharing stories is part of the delight of this course, so come prepared to read out loud to the group at least some of the writing that you'll do. In the friendship that builds around the table, everyone gets to feels comfortable about this. The idea is to aid everyone in understanding and appreciating the great tales we all have inside us. And if you're keen to delve back into previous generations, I'll give you tips on exploring genealogy.
