Event Overview

This class is designed as a space to explore the story women tell. The purpose is to examine how we think about ourselves (our narrative), and to enjoy the humor as well as the heartache that ensues as we share and explore our experiences in good company. This is not meant to be a writing course, but rather a course in self-exploration through reading and writing.

Before each session, we will read a short (3-5 page) essay or article related to the theme. During the sessions, you can expect to engage in a variety of partner and group discussions, writing exercises. Upon completion of the course, you can expect to have a better sense of where you are in your life, what has lead you there, where you hope to go, and most importantly, how to get there while maintaining your sanity.

Session 1: Building our Community – Thursday, May 22nd 6:30-9 pm
Session 2: Examining our Narrative – Thursday, May 29th 6:30-9 pm
Session 3: Shifting our Narrative – Thursday, June 5th 6:30-9 pm
Session 4: Crafting our Narrative – Thursday, June 12th 6:30-9 pm
Session 5: Sharing our Narrative - Thursday, June 19th 6:30-9 pm
