Join us for this interactive series about living, aging, and dying well while caring for ourselves and loved ones.  Every single one of us will have a last day.

Part II
Memoir Writing Workshop with Michael Czarnecki

Everyone has stories to share and many people have a desire to write about their life. Wanting to write and doing so are two different things. The immensity of such a project can overwhelm us. This workshop will help to make that desire a reality.

Participants will be introduced to a method I call “Palm-of-the-Hand” writing, after the “Palm-of-the-Hand” stories of Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata. After deciding on story possibilities, the method helps focus the writer’s energy into completing short individual pieces about their life.

These workshops have been very successful in helping people to write extensively about their life experiences – whether for family members or to someday be published in a book.

***Sponsored by the Rowley Council on Aging.***
