I want you to know you don’t have to do it all at once, or all alone.
Let’s look at your vast, storied and varied lives and get started with writing it all down.
We’ll start by outlining by identifying underlying structures and patterns, using … fairy tales and myth.
Exploring ancient tales (like fairy tale and myth) we resonate with help us identify archetypal narrative arcs, symbols, patterns and themes in our life experiences.
It’s fun and insightful, I promise.
In this workshop you’ll review your life so far, clarify patterns and themes and then draw out the structure of your stories in a swift plunge into your own fascinating self.
BY THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP YOU’LL HAVE:
created a timeline of your life stories, and working with a fairy tale or myth
learned about rites of passage (both the known and the unknown), moments of decision, and how they apply to your life experiences
discovered your pivotal experiences, and how they can be turned into stories
clarifyed the themes and patterns at play in your life (perhaps some you never knew were there) using fairy tale and myth
created a brief outline of your memoir
This is an in-depth and productive 2.5 hour workshop where we’ll do the work to pull together all the pieces of your life experiences, a fairy tale or myth, your life timeline, rites of passage and pivotal moments.
By the end you’ll have a clear outline for your memoir providing you with the structure and clarity you need to keep moving forward.
