Leading Through Our Lives: Guided Memoir for Women
Leading Through Our Lives: Guided Memoir for Women
Make new friends and nurture your creativity as you write your life story, two pages at a time!
Join a small group of 5-6 women as we support and encourage each other through an exciting reading and writing program.
Over five weeks we will explore a variety of life roles and themes that often help to define our experiences with authority and power as women:
• Mothers & Daughters — Connection & Disconnection
• Mentors & Guardians — Incitement & Restraint
• Lovers & Partners — Love & Power
• Rulers & Rebels — Authority & Values
• Champions & Muses — Memory & Fame
Each session is two hours. During the first hour we will share two pages of our own writing, offered as works-in-progress, and receive supportive feedback. During the second hour we will jumpstart our thinking with poems, excerpts from award-winning memoirs, and fun exercises—all aligned with that week’s lens and theme.
This group is geared toward brand new writers. Our focus is on writing and sharing as creative outlets for self-discovery. You will never be graded or critiqued.
* NOTE: This program is offered in collaboration with Kallion and is free of charge. Kallion is an organization dedicated to developing better leadership across all sectors and communities through the study of the humanities.
