This Week's Topic: "Memoir Writing: Turning Memory into Meaning"

Every life contains a story that only one person can tell.

In this Tuesday Session, we'll explore the art of memoir writing by uncovering the narrative hidden within our lived experience. Through a guided writing exercise, you'll begin identifying the defining moments, themes, and turning points that could shape the foundation of your memoir.

We'll also briefly introduce Carl Jung's concept of a personal myth—the underlying story that gives our lives coherence and meaning—and consider how writing can help us discover the story only we can tell.
