THIS WEEKEND WORKSHOP, recorded in Taos, New Mexico, is a primer on writing the modern memoir, which, unlike your grandmother’s memoir, can be written at any age. Also, a memoir can be about just part of your life. “The more you are present, the more the past will come up and be alive,” says Natalie. “Only right now can give you your past.”
TOPICS INCLUDE HOW TO:
- Crack Open Structure
- Listen Effectively
- Use Specific Detail
- Make Connections with Your Mind
- Quiet Your Money Mind
- Find a New Angle
- Fail Successfully
REVIEW
. . . one is acutely aware of Goldberg’s contemplative teaching style and the class’s reaction to her. Although the listener learns practical lessons about “cracking open structure to release energy,” the most exquisite gift is hearing some of the students’ assigned compositions. They are profoundly and touchingly from the heart. . . .” ~ AudioFile Magazine
