New! Your Life Story Through Guided Autobiography
Everybody has a story to tell. Writing and preserving your life story is a rewarding
experience that will leave your mark. It is your legacy. This six-week class offers
individuals an opportunity to deeply reflect on and chronicle significant life experiences,
enabling them to gain valuable insight, perspective, and a richer understanding of
their personal journey. If you’ve wanted to record your history, impart values to
the next generation, or simply explore your past, our 2.5-hour sessions each week
will walk you through Guided Autobiography (GAB) and get you started. (GAB is a structured
approach that involves delving into one's personal life story with the guidance of
a trained facilitator. GAB goes beyond mere documentation of personal histories. It
seeks to stimulate self-discovery, fortify resilience, and cultivate personal growth
by delving into and comprehending one's life narrative in a deeper and more meaningful
way.) Each session revolves around a specific life theme, where participants engage
with thought-provoking questions tailored to elicit memories and encourage the writing
of your life story. You will be sent home each week with your theme, write approximately
two pages of your life story on that theme at home, and then share it the following
week. Notebooks, handouts, and pens are provided - but if you prefer to type, bring
a laptop or iPad. Instructor Liana Henry is a Certified GAB Instructor and Principal,
Black Dog Marcom. $489
