Cultivating Inner Wisdom: A Memoir-Writing Workshop

Writing memoir is writing from a place within our minds, hearts, and bodies where the information is so raw, perhaps we haven’t yet processed it fully — the cognitive and analytical mind has not yet taken over to codify, slice, and splice into discernible chunks of story. This raw inner space of emotion and experience is where our inner wisdom is the purest. And this is why writing memoir is an experience of deep self-learning, emotional transmutation, and personal transformation — how you think the story begins is certainly not how it ends.

This memoir-writing immersion explores emotional truth through meeting ourselves with deeper and deeper self-inquiry to allow authentic wisdom to emerge through our written art. Using the vulnerability of journal writing as our anchor, we will explore both meeting our deeper, softer, rawer selves and the presentation of vulnerability. We will also be present with the nuances of making the private public in our writing — safety, exposure, power, choice, and liberation.

In this immersion, you will begin (or continue) a memoir-style personal narrative. Join us. Let your emotional truth pull you.
