  • The Alchemy of Memory: Writing the Hybrid Memoir; masterclass

    Wednesday, October 8; 4:00 p.m. Pacific

    We’ll explore what makes a hybrid memoir different, look at memory itself and how to reach the true essence of your story, and begin with a short meditation and an oracle card pull.

    You’ll learn:

    The core building blocks—scene, reflection, research, resonance—and how to braid them;

    How to put both memory and movement on the page (hint: part of it happens before you write);

    Practical and spiritual approaches to scope, privacy, and deciding what belongs on the page;

    Momentum tools to get started now and keep going.

    We’ll also bust common memoir myths, leaving you clear, energized, and ready to draft.
