About this Course

Have you ever wanted to write your memoir or leave a legacy for your loved ones? This eight-week course will help you write, share and preserve the life stories only you can tell. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, the Guided Autobiography process offers a structured, supportive environment to help you reflect on your life and the events that have shaped it. Each week you’ll receive prompting questions to write two-pages at home on a theme such as family, career, friendship, travel and more. You’ll bring your writing the following week to read aloud in class. Sharing life stories is an ideal way to find new meaning in life and put past events into perspective. No writing experience is necessary, just an openness to appreciate and share the unique life that is yours.

Your Instructor: Pam Toal is a published writer, coach, and certified Guided Autobiography facilitator.  Her professional background in non-profits, higher education, and consulting led her to discover the rewards of writing and sharing life stories.

*Class limited to 9 students!
