Westbrook Adult Education

Description: There is no time like the present to start or continue your life story! The Life Story Writing Course has two main components: weekly theme-based writing and small group sharing.

 Learn to organize and write your life story,  two pages at a time. Stories will come alive by active participation in writing exercises and related discussions pertaining to the varied themes. The writing can go as far and wide as students wish to take each writing experience.

By reading the individual stories in class each week in dedicated small groups, the students learn to listen deeply, understand and appreciate other life stories, as well as gain perspectives on their own writings. At the end of the course, the participants will have nine written stories,which can be made into a book for oneself or given as a gift for family and friends.
