Have you struggled with how to begin? Then this free, two-hour workshop is for you! Everybody has a story—in fact, lots of stories! Learn how to jump-start the process in a safe, supportive, and relaxed setting. Karen Bovie is a Certified Guided Autobiography Instructor who will show you how you can write your story 2 pages at a time. You will learn about: the purpose and process of guided autobiography; memory-jogging techniques; how to explore life themes and use priming questions to organize your narrative; tips for mining the ‘good stuff’ buried inside the big picture.</font></span><div><font color="#3c4043" face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.2px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(77,77,77);letter-spacing:0.2px;white-space:pre-wrap">The program will be held Thursday, September 9th at 6:30 PM via teleconference line.
