Writing Memoir | Holy Cross Monastery | West Park, New York

Discover the life-changing potential of memoir writing in this weekend intensive designed to take both experienced writers and beginners deeper into their hearts and their pasts. A deeply spiritual act, writing creates distance from which understanding takes root, helping you to know yourself and examine how the events in your life have shaped you. Instructor Donofrio creates a supportive environment to help you tell your story, teaching techniques to make your memories come alive on the page. You’ll create a first draft in class, receive feedback and instruction, and then rewrite it using scene-writing techniques that invite the reader straight into that moment of your life. Telling your story can be profound and transformative. All that is required is a strong desire and the courage to understand and to write the truth.
