Write the Stories of Your Life

Begins mid 2011 - Year long email/correspondence course with teleconferences and optional feedback.

In 2011, write the stories of your life and enjoy the rich and inspiring company of others in this unique year-long email/correspondence course beginning mid 2011.

This storyworks course takes you on a journey through the ordinary and extraordinary moments of your life to create a collection of significant stories for yourself, your family, and loved ones. It’s magical!

You and your family will know who you are, and future generations will read their ancestors’ stories and feel connected.

These are my stories. I have lived them. All this time they have been hidden inside me, never seeing the light of day until this course. - Participant 2007

How does it work?

Over the year you will receive 12 lessons by email or post, with guidance to allow you to write and unfold your stories.

Each lesson also involves a conference call with one or two other participants and the facilitator Bridget Brandon. You will have the opportunity to listen to others, to have your stories heard and to receive feedback.

Storyworks participants from Perth to Townsville, from Dublin to Toronto have found it easy to become part of the delightful and appreciative community of life writers.

I felt a new freedom in writing. I felt less controlled …rather I flew on the current of emotional exhilaration and let the words tumble out. - Participant 2008

I love the way the exercises draw out more and more memories…. I feel like I am being transported back to that time. - Caitlin (Participant 2008)

It was delightful that the class had an international flavor - it was such a powerful reminder of the universality of human experiences and concerns. - Participant 2008

I liked that it showed me things about myself. And I liked the freedom of only having to "report in" once every 3 weeks… I was able to fit the course around work. - June (Participant 2007)
