Vivid Vignettes: Sensory Snapshots of Your Ongoing Life Story 

Description: In this immersive creative writing workshop, we’ll craft vibrant vignettes that capture the essence of participants’ ongoing life stories. Guided by the power of sensory details, we’ll journey through memories, places, and pivotal moments, transforming them into vivid narratives that resonate with depth and emotion. 

We’ll draw inspiration from published memoir excerpts, engaging in visualization exercises to stimulate the senses and unlock dormant memories.  Participants will learn to weave together imagery and emotion, honing their skills in descriptive writing and narrative techniques. At the heart of this workshop is a collaborative spirit, where participants will exchange feedback and encouragement. 

Note: This program is designed to work especially well as a series of sessions (e.g., once a week for four weeks), allowing participants to build trust and a sense of community over time. Each session is ideally 75 minutes long to allow for deeper exploration and meaningful peer sharing. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with venues to adapt the format accordingly.
