Guided Autobiography may be just right for you if:
- You want to write your stories, but itâs hard to get started
- You have many stories but arenât sure how to organize them
- You have never thought of yourself as a âreal writerâ but you would like to hand on some stories to children and grandchildren
- You are trying to be active in ways that stimulate the brain
Class Format:
- Each week we focus on a new theme
- Fresh resources are given weekly to boost memory recall
- At home each week, participants write a two-page story (900 to 1,000 words)
- The following week, participants share their stories in a small supportive group, committed to confidentiality
Writing and telling your story can have real benefits:
- Increase your sense of well-being
- Create a legacy to share with others
- Help you gain new perspective on your life
- Build bonds of community and connection
- Stimulate the brain in very healthy ways
- Additionally, some say the class itself is a spiritual experience
Interested? Thatâs great! Please check your calendar and plan to attend all seven classes (though we all know that emergencies can come up.)
Since the resources build on each other, this is not a âdrop-inâ class.
You are encouraged to sign up by January 21st, since space is limited.
There is a suggested donation is $45, with scholarship help available.
