Writing Your Memories Fall Edition: Monthly Virtual Writing Workshop with author Maria Giura
Generative: Writing Memories of “Nature”
Saturday, September 20, 2025
10 am to noon via Zoom
$20 Members, $30 Non-Members
Whether you consider yourself a city or country person, a mountain or beach person—or somewhere in between—join us for this writing workshop that will help you unearth memories that center around the various meanings of the word “nature.” We’ll read together short, vibrant excerpts on the topic, some written by Italian American authors, and then you’ll be given prompts to write your own original piece. You’ll leave this workshop with concrete suggestions to get you closer to the truth of your own stories.
No experience necessary: just notebook, pen, and a desire to record the past.
(And don’t miss our other two Fall Writing Workshops: Oct. 18, which is also generative—you’ll write new material–and Nov. 22 which is revision)

What Participants Have to Say:  

  • “The [short] readings were spot-on, serving as entry ways into lively discussions but also inspiring our own original writing. Brava!”
  • “I just loved the opportunity to read, write, and, if I wanted to, share. These workshops brought back memories that were tucked into the recess of my mind and deepened my interest in reflecting and writing about my culture.”
  • “I’ll take these workshops again and again. So lovely to meet so many nice, new people. Excellent, skilled, and inspiring instructor.”
