Micro-Memoirs: Write and Share Your Life Stories
Live on Zoom
Live on Zoom
Do you want to explore the stories that have shaped your life?
Micro-Memoirs is a 6-week AWA Method (Amherst Writers & Artists) workshop that will explore the fine art of brevity in writing your true life stories.
In these workshops you will be writing very short stories (or vignettes) about your life experiences. Joyce's powerful prompts will jog your memory, feed your imagination, and coax your stories out into the world. Sharing, receiving positive feedback, and hearing the stories of others round out the workshop experience.
You do not need to consider yourself a writer to join and benefit from these workshops. The AWA Method has a proven track record of holding a safe, generative, and supportive space where both writers and writing can flourish. I hope you'll join us.

Power of Story: The Caregiver Project
Live on Zoom
Live on Zoom
The Caregiver Project is an online writing workshop in association with AWA (Amherst Writers and Artists) for those who, in taking on the care of another or others, may have lost much of their former lifestyle and social activities and supports, and, consequently, are feeling stressed and isolated.
Research has shown expressive writing is associated with fewer visits to the doctor because of stress-related illness, improved immune system functioning, reduced blood pressure, improved lung and liver function, improved mood and affect, and a feeling of greater psychological well-being.
Connect, express yourself, and have affirmed, through bearing witness and having your writing listened to, that you are not alone. You do not need to consider yourself a writer to join and benefit from these workshops. The AWA Method has a proven track record of holding a safe, generative, and supportive space where both writers and writing can flourish. I hope you'll join us.

Design Tips & Tricks for Beautiful Cards
This workshop is practical, fun, and a bit technical: Joyce Cohen, a longtime graphic designer and SoulCollage® facilitator, will share some tricks of the trade to take your card designs to another level. This workshop is for you if you love the intuitive process of SoulCollage® cards but also want to know how to create something visually exciting!
Joyce will share her graphic design knowledge about working with colour, texture, composition, art supplies, and more. She will show samples of her own SoulCollage® cards as inspiration, and there will be a question period at the end for you to ask any questions you might have.
