My Story Begins: A memoir-writing retreat

For people who are curious about writing memoir, or who want to flex their writing muscle in a safe space. Room for ten
participants—especially for those who relish the sound of a good sentence. Each session will include: a brief discussion on what memoir can be; 30 minutes or so of individual writing; and a chance to read aloud our freshly written texts. Encouraging comments and useful suggestions will be welcome.

Please bring to the first session, as a prompt for our in-house writing, one item of clothing that has meaning for you: a t-shirt
from Camp Woolastook; your first baby’s onesie; or a hat like your grade six teacher wore when you fell in love with them.

Co facilitated by allison calvern and Janet Creery

Mon July 7, Tues July 8, Wed July 9 from 9am – 12pm at UUFO
