Interpretive Writing About Life’s Experiences

Participants will write about what has been most important in their lives, for their grandchildren and future generations. Your writing could take the form of memoir, narrative or poetry, highlighting reflections on life, significant and/or humorous events, lessons learned, values, or beliefs.  We will use collaborative exercises to stimulate individual reflection and group discussion, to identify what you want to say and how to say it, with one or more finished pieces of writing as the goal.
