Memory & Place:
A Collaborative, Online Workshop
with Heather Sweeney
Friday, Aug. 15th, 12 noon -1:30 pm
Via Zoom, Investment: $35
There are places that shaped us.
Remember that incredible place you went to? The one you can’t stop thinking about? Let's write about it!
The hotel lobby where you made an important decision. The office where everything changed. The childhood bedroom that still weaves into your dreams. The magical landscape that held you during the hardest era of your life.
Memory resides in places. When we examine these places they become a threshold into the stories only we can tell.
In this creative writing workshop we will use the places of our lives as portals: writing into memory, landscape, and moments of transformation.
You do not need to be an experienced or published writer. You only need to be willing to
show up on the page and see what arrives.
Here is what we will do together:
Open with a grounding mindfulness practice to settle into the body and the page
Move through a series of guided generative writing prompts designed to unlock memory through place
Share in community to be supported, witnessed and encouraged
Leave with new pages, new insight, and a writing practice you can return to
This workshop is for you if:
You have stories inside you that have been waiting to be unlocked
You want to write more honestly and without restraint or filters
You feel stuck or disconnected from your own writing voice
You want to write in community with other thoughtful, curious people
You simply want to show up on the page, discover, and see what happens
