About Memoir Workshops

Every life contains a treasury of stories—moments of wonder, challenge, transformation, and awe—waiting to be told. This workshop explores how life’s experiences can be shaped into meaningful narrative, blending memory with imagination to uncover deeper truths. Through guided prompts, creative exercises, and reflective discussion, participants explore the art of storytelling as both craft and self-discovery. Poetry, metaphor, and imagery illuminate memory, cultivating the development of an authentic and resonant voice.

Participants experiment with techniques that transform fragments of memory into cohesive narratives, whether brief vignettes, lyrical poems, or chapters of a larger life story. The process is enriched through visual and book arts practices, incorporating collage, journaling, and handmade forms that transform stories into tangible artifacts.

Designed for both beginners and seasoned writers, memoir workshops offer a supportive environment to connect with memory, honor life’s experiences, and craft stories that carry depth and vitality. By the end of every session, participants leave with pages of new writing as well as tools and inspiration to continue weaving their lives into prose and poetry.

I was thrilled to take your workshop—it came at a time when I needed more support during a major life transition. Being in a circle and wandering the world of images and imagination was profoundly helpful. Your workshop was mystical, funny, innovative, and empathetic—an unconventional blend I’ve never encountered before. It was deeply inspiring. I came home elated, light, and full of energy. Thank you for creating such a safe and inspiring space to explore.
