Crafting a Narrative Timeline of Your Life
Week 8 | M, Tu | Turner 105 | Ages 18 and up
Everyone has a story — what's yours? Come excavate your life stories by putting pen to page and taking a deep-dive into the experiences, people, and places that shaped you. Taught by author and creative facilitator Jen Jones Donatelli, this interactive workshop will teach you how to develop a narrative life timeline (a concept first popularized by Artist's Way creator Julia Cameron). Whether you're working on a memoir, writing a personal essay, or just looking to chronicle memories that matter, you'll learn how to use this helpful building block in writing the story of your life.
Class Times
Students should bring a journal and a pen. If they wish, they can also bring some photos that depict significant events in their lives or stories they would like to explore more fully.
