Our existence is at once mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, and each of these aspects of self are reporting different details of each moment. However, we don’t always consult all sources when shaping our stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo write memoir that is textured, layered, and immersive is to become an archivist sifting through each version of the story to determine which details best communicate the truth of your experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do we learn to hear the nuances of these different stories? What happens when we treat our own story with curiosity before recounting what happened for an audience?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this class, we'll explore how to become witnesses of our own stories by introducing a process for memory observation and analysis, somatic practices for recalling tender moments, and tools for sharpening sensory language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will work with one memory throughout the engagement to follow how the story is shaped by our listening and questioning. This is an embodied craft course that supports healing and wellness as much as it builds a foundation for memoir writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 class sessions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWednesdays, October 7-28\u003cbr\u003e8p-10p ET\u003cbr\u003e5p-7p PT\u003cbr\u003e7p-9p CT\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll class meetings will be held via Zoom.
