**What to expect from this workshop?**
What if the best stories are written from the beautiful chaos of real life? In this creative writing workshop, we will explore how to take the moments, memories, and even the challenging experiences of life and turn them into meaningful stories. Writing from real experience can be a beautiful way to make sense of the past, find healing, and transform what once felt heavy into something full of insight and heart, and maybe even a bit of laughter.

Through thoughtful prompts and inspiring extracts, you will learn how to shape your experiences into writing that feels alive and authentic. Whether you are an experienced writer or just beginning, this workshop will help you tap into your inner storyteller, find your voice, and see your own life as a rich source of creative inspiration.

**What do you need for the session?**
All you need is a notebook and pen to write with. This is a technology-free event so you can be fully present.
