Writing Your Untold Stories

Saturday, June 27
10 am - 4 pm
$90 ($80 Jung Center members)

Unearth a portion of the lost stories that have shaped who you are. In this workshop, we will lead you through a series of writing exercises, each different, to enable you to discover, explore and begin to articulate some of the themes that thread through your life and may lay buried under the minutia in today's busy world. The bones of your lost stories may be found through your various jobs and positions (paid or unpaid), through the places you have lived or visited or perhaps never seen but long for, in the friends or rivals you have shared various episodes of your life with, in your family past and present, in your spiritual ties or quests, in your community (local and global). Grab your memory and your imagination and join us in this adventure.
