Life Story Writing Continuation

$120 Originally: $20

with Craig Siulinski, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar Nov 13, 2025 at 4:30 pm, runs for 4 weeks

*THIS IS AN EXTENSION CLASS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY TAKEN LSW WITH CRAIG. HOWEVER, NEW STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN.

This course provides more focus and motivation to write the life stories you started in a previous class or to start a new story. The course will help participants organize and write their life stories using the Guided Autobiography (GAB) method. Each week, students are required to write at least two pages based on a theme-of-the-week, and share their work with a dedicated group. Students will participate in discussions relating to the theme topics. Associated writing exercises will enhance memory recall and storytelling skills.

Joanna, a recent Life Story Writing participant, shared this comment regarding the sharing nature of the course: I found it very touching -a human connect- to hear the childhood memories of my classmates. It made them become “very real people” to me. Abstractly, we know “everyone has a story”, but this class made it tangible, real.

*Class will meet four times on these dates: 11/13 & 11/20; 12/4 & 12/11.

**This is an online class.
