Book Passage ClassCorte Madera store, $60Register for ClassSpiritual memoir uses the raw material of your life to reveal the deeper intelligence of your soul’s journey. In this workshop we weave into words as truthfully and tenderly as possible the ongoing thread of our lives that runs through our days. The workshop provides a relaxed and nonjudgmental space in which to share your work and to receive supportive feedback. You are welcome to bring work for which you would like feedback. To unearth the content of our story, we will sharpen the tools of style, language, metaphor and imagery. Spiritual memoir can fit easily into poetry, nonfiction, fiction, or journal writing. This workshop is suitable for beginners and also for writers with some experience.Roger Housden’s work includes the Ten Poems series, the novella Chasing Rumi, Sacred Journeys in a Modern World, Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living, and How Rembrandt Reveals Your Beautiful, Imperfect Self. His new work Saved By Beauty: Adventures of an American Romantic in Iran, will be published in June 2011. Roger is from England and now lives in the Bay Area.
