Class Description:

Everything in your life, from the mundane to the extraordinary, is a story waiting to be told. In this workship, you will discover your own unique and powerful story.

Writing from your deepest source, you will gain insight and self-understanding that can bring peace, healing, and direction to your life.

Through improvisation, wirting exercises, and group discussion, you will find your authentic voice, along with a way to express it. Ann Randolph creates a supportive, fun, and dynamic space to create. All levels welcome. A perfect workshop for those seeking to explore personal essay, memoir, solo show, or the sacred art of journaling.
