ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Overview
Let's Get Personal is an intentional gathering space to remember, reflect, and reconnect with your truth. Over eight weeks (meeting biweekly, online), we’ll write together, read together, and share the memories that made us.
Each 1.5-hour session will include grounding check-ins, gentle reflections, and culminate with a public Live Virtual Storytelling Event Finale via Kin Keepers scheduled this fall.
Our inaugural theme is Geography of Joy! Learn more about it below.
Who Should Join
This workshop is perfect for:
Anyone feeling called to explore their personal story through writing
Complete beginners who want to start writing but don't know where to begin
Experienced writers seeking deeper connection and supportive community
Those drawn to memoir, personal essays, or processing life experiences on the page
People ready to honor their lived experiences and discover what stories are waiting to emerge
Storytellers at every stage who believe in honoring what must not be forgotten
No previous writing experience required—just bring an open heart, your curiosity, and willingness to explore.
Materials
Each session combines carefully curated inspirational readings (essays, quotes, and excerpts from renowned authors provided beforehand) with sensory-based writing prompts designed to unlock the memories that shaped us. You will engage in focused writing time, optional sharing circles, and guided reflections that create a supportive container for personal storytelling.
Following our seasonal cycle format, this workshop offers a complete toolkit for honoring your narrative — whether you're returning to the page or writing for the first time, this could be the beginning of something beautiful.
Theme: Geography of Joy
In Geography of Joy, we excavate and celebrate the landscapes of our becoming—those sacred spaces where joy took root and identity flourished. Over four sessions, we'll move beyond trauma narratives to map the places, moments, and communities that nurtured our authentic selves, exploring how individual moments of delight are deeply connected to our communities' cultural richness and resilience. We'll weave together personal joy-maps with the celebratory histories of our neighborhoods: block parties that built solidarity, corner stores that became community anchors, and parks where difference dissolved into play.
The Storytelling Finale
Geography of Joy is part of Kin Keepers, our ongoing series exploring the stories that bind us together, culminating in a live reading salon this fall where we'll share our joy-maps with the community.
