Dr Gail Cloud's
Memoir Writing Workshop
COMING SOON
This workshop, Embrace the Power of Poetry to Write Your Memoir, is designed to assist you in your creative writing or memoir-writing process, embracing the power of poetry to tell your story — and if not the whole story, then some important piece.
MEET THE FACILITATOR
DR. GAIL CLOUD
Dr. Gail Cloud is the author of Therapist's Daughter: A Memoir in Verse, and a chiropractor, astrologer, and family systems facilitator. Her passion is helping you to become and be your best self.
WHY POETRY
and not prose?
You'll learn to use very few words to paint vivid pictures of your story. The essence is captured in descriptive imagery, getting to the very heart of your life's message.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
Please note: The accompanying workbook, included with your workshop registration, is for use both on your own and at the workshop. It is designed to help you with this process.
We will all listen to one another's poems and offer a few comments of only positive, constructive reflections.
PART ONE
Out of the Shadows
Together we will explore the first few poems of Therapist's Daughter, using them as guides to "bring out from the shadows" issues and memories from our own stories.
PART TWO
What is Your Story?
Next we will take 40 minutes to write your own story as prompted from what comes up for you through both the Therapist's Daughter poems and PDF workbook.
PART THREE
Create Your Image
in the Fewest Words
Gail will talk about using verse to paint your story. You'll spend about 30 minutes writing your poems, weaving imagery and emotional dimensions to bring your story alive. Let's see how few words you actually need!
PART FOUR
Reveal Your Story
Finally, you will have the option to read your poem, your story. The intent is to support you in the process of writing your own memoir — whether in prose or in verse.
