The Unbearable Persistence of Things

A six-week memoir workshop to explore what arises through and underneath those objects and places that spark nostalgia in us.

This series of 2-hour workshops are designed to spark creativity and unlock memories through the power of objects and places. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning your memoir journey, this workshop will offer deeply supportive space to guide you in weaving connections between the tangible and the deeply personal.

Through engaging and experimental writing exercises, you’ll:

• Use inherited or retained objects as inspiration.
• Explore the memories, people, and events tied to them.
• Begin to uncover the persistent threads that shape your story.

April 14, 21, 28, May 12, 26, June 2.

Please note: we skip 2 sessions in the sequence: May 5 is skipped because we are away leading a retreat in Niagara. May 19 is skipped because it’s a holiday.

Time: Mondays from 1:00 to 3:00 pm EST / 10:00 to noon PST
