April 23 - 25 Wendy Judith Cutler
Women Writing Memoir: Writing Women's Lives 

Many of us, particularly women, are drawn to capture our lives in writing in order to record our herstories, gain insight into our pasts and re-create the particular, sometimes painful, and often extraordinary moments, discoveries and transitions we have experienced.    

We will experience the richness of memoir as a means to deepen understanding of our pasts, presents, stories, our selves, our secrets, our dreams. In a nurturing, tender and explorative circle, you will be guided into personal writing, deep listening, sharing with others and, most importantly, writing for your selves.  

During this workshop, through memoir and autobiography; we explore principles of journal writing and varying approaches to writing about ourselves; experiment with guided freewriting and imagery, life mapping, dialogue writing and other creative means; and re-experience memories to spark imagination, creativity, create intention, and share with other women in writing from our lives.  

Wendy Judith Cutler, teacher, writer and activist, has taught writing and women’s studies for 25 years and currently guides women’s journalwriting circles and memoir workshops where she lives on Salt Spring Island, BC. She relishes the opportunity to inspire others to honor the power and wisdom of their own words. This is her 20th year presenting at Breitenbush.
