Mentoring Programs, Memoir Writing Classes & Workshops
So, you want to tell your story? I have taught in creative arts for over 41+ years. For the last 22+ years, I have helped others write their stories in memoir classes, workshops, organizations, groups, and one-on-one sessions. All you have to do is show up with a journal or notebook and a fast-writing pen!
For those who want to offer their members an opportunity to write the memories that haunt us, I am available for book groups, writers’ conferences, performing art centers, library events, women’s and men’s associations, spirituality groups, religious organizations, and associations both on Zoom and in person. If there is a presentation you would like to discuss, contact me through my Contact Form. Look forward to hearing from you.
