About the workshop

In this one-hour workshop, we will look at the following (and more):

    •    The 3 phases of writing about family

    •    How to generate and tell the historical or emotional truths, but with mercy, respect and while practicing the golden rule

    •    Questions to ask ourselves about family history, dynamics, the family "brand."

    •    Placing our family within their social, linguistic and cultural contexts

    •    Discussion: Starting with 3 author quotes on writing (or not) our family truths, we'll chat about how much to tell and withhold and why

Participants will also receive some resources to support their writing and general wellbeing.
