Legacy in Words - Storytelling Workshop

I've been talking about doing this for a long time. And now, I'm finally doing it.

I am thrilled — and honestly, a little emotional — to invite you to my very first storytelling workshop. It's called Legacy in Words: Crafting Personal and Family Stories, and it is the first installment in a series I've been quietly building called The Living Story: From Memory to Legacy. This series is close to my heart in a way that's hard to put into words — though of course, that's exactly what we'll be learning to do together.

So many of us carry stories we've never quite found the words for.

Memories that live in the body, in old photographs, in the way a particular smell can pull you back thirty years in an instant. We know those stories matter. We just don't always know how to shape them into something we can hold, share, or pass on. That's what this workshop is for.

Over the course of 90 minutes, you'll learn to work with your own memories using the same frameworks that professional storytellers and filmmakers reach for — the hero's journey, Pixar's storytelling elements, and storyboarding techniques — not as abstract theory, but as practical tools you can put to work immediately. We'll move through guided exercises together, and by the time we're done, you'll leave with a completed personal story outline ready to expand, share with your family, or bring to an audience.

Whether you're a family historian, a memoir writer, or simply someone who wants to make sure the stories that matter most are never forgotten, this workshop was made with you in mind.

I have poured a great deal of myself into building this series, and this first workshop feels like a genuine milestone. It would mean the world to me to share it with people who already understand just how powerful a well-told story can be. I hope you'll join me.
