Listening to Your Life: A Weekend of Memoir

In this weekend workshop, we’ll explore how lived experience becomes a narrative through generative writing, close reading, and thoughtful conversation. Together we’ll ask: What does it mean to remember? What is the relationship between memory and truth? How do we shape lived experience into story? Through guided writing exercises and readings from contemporary memoirists and poets, you’ll experiment with new ways of approaching your own stories, finding language for the questions you’ve carried and the ones you are just beginning to ask. We’ll write toward curiosity rather than certainty, discovering how attention itself can become a creative practice. Writers of all levels are encouraged to join; no previous experience is necessary. Whether you’re beginning a memoir, deepening an ongoing project, or seeking a new way to engage your life through writing, this workshop offers a welcoming space to explore.
