THE SPIRITUAL MEMOIR:
WRITING TO UNLOCK THE MEANING OF YOUR LIFE
AND INFLUENCE THE WORLD

 

  Leave the stress and confusion of the modern world for a long weekend.  Connect to the power and beauty of your life stories and learn to write them in a way that touches hearts and transforms lives, including your own.

The words that flow from our pens weave meaning thorugh and among our life experiences.  This meaning grows into wisdom and healing and, often, beautiful works of art.  Learn to summon, present and arrange pieces of your life and inner history into a rich memoir full of surprises.  You will outline a book project, write drafts of some passages and leave with inspiration to keep you going.
