An Introduction to Memoir Writing: A Holistic Approach
Every story matters.
Have you ever wanted to write your life stories but didn’t know where to start? Do you have stories about summers at the family cottage, backpacking in India, your sister’s wedding or your youthful misadventures? Or, are you waiting to write down those small, everyday adventures—like walking the dog, taking the bus, swimming at the Y—that make up who you are? This dynamic 4 week course is an introduction to memoir writing. We will take a holistic approach to writing by including a combination of gentle and modified yoga postures, breathwork and meditation at the beginning and throughout each class as ways to invite contemplation, calm the mind and find focus as we turn memories into compelling narratives through writing exercises and assignments. Explore and record your life experiences. Share written work in a safe and supportive environment.
Anyone interested in writing is welcome. No previous experience in yoga, meditation or breathwork is necessary. Yoga mats and props are provided courtesy of Crichton Cultural Community Centre.

This sounds very cool. Does this reflect the notion of The Authentic Self? ... or is that the essence ?
In balance!!!
