If/Then/Else

December 7th, 2024

If/Then/Else is a two-hour storytelling workshop. In the midst of global violence and silence, a sense of uncertainty and loss can undermine wellness. This workshop offers space to acknowledge what is and celebrate what might be; an opportunity to reflect on the moment but also re-imagine present, presence, and the future, through the lenses of resilience and joy. We'll invite participants to respond to a simple writing prompt, and lead them through a group feedback process, followed by a chance to re-write, and retell their stories. Book and more information.

Multimedia Memoir Workshop

December 2024 to February 2025

This course looks at how to synergistically combine written stories with visual and audio narratives. We meet once a week over 6 weeks to create a short film centering on a subject from our lives from start to finish. You will be guided through how to write a short autobiographical/autofictional story, how to design and create/curate a visual and audio narrative, and how to construct your story with a video editing skills tutorial. To ensure personalized attention, the group will be limited to six participants. Book and more information.

Sessions will balance generative writing time with feedback, editing, and revision. To ensure personalized attention, the group will be limited to six participants. Book and more information.
