The most important story we will ever share is our own, yet we struggle to find the best path forward to do so. Sometimes, we also experience great fear and trepidation in putting our story on the page. In this interactive virtual workshop, we will explore: overcoming the fears in writing our stories; tapping into the art and craft of memoir writing; and learning the ways in which we can preserve and share our story with the people in our lives – and beyond. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their concerns, fears, or frustrations with writing and sharing their stories._________________
