There are memories that need more than narration.

In this workshop, we explore how language doesn’t just tell stories. It carries experience, emotion, and meaning. Through poetry, we learn how to deepen the way we record and remember our lives, turning memories into powerful written pieces.

Each session is a space to reflect, write, and shape your voice through guided exercises and creative exploration.
