The first part of this workshop invites exploration of memorable events through guided writing. Whether your memories are joyful, surprising, or reflective, you might discover new insights by putting them into words in a welcoming and supportive environment.

For the second part, we’ll each create a collage, using images, colors, and textures to create a visual expression. No writing or artistic experience is necessary.

Bring a notebook and pen.  Material for collages will be provided. You are welcome to bring poems, magazines, or any items to use for your collage.   

There will be more workshops at different venues.
