SUMMARY:The Stories We Keep: A Writing and Storytelling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bring an object that matters to you and spend an afternoon exploring its story through writing\, reflection\, and conversation.\n\nThe Stories We Keep is a guided writing and storytelling workshop about the memories\, people\, places\, and moments held within the objects we keep. \nFor this workshop\, you’ll be invited to bring one meaningful object from home and use it as a starting point for writing and reflection. Led by a former archaeologist\, the workshop draws on archaeology-informed approaches to explore the stories\, memories\, and meaning we attach to the things we keep. Through a series of prompts\, exercises\, and conversation\, we’ll explore the story behind your object and the memories connected to it. \nNo previous writing experience is needed. You don’t need to consider yourself a writer. Just bring an object that means something to you and an openness to see where its story takes you. Sharing your object’s story is encouraged\, but not mandatory for the experience. \nWhat to Expect\n• A relaxed\, small-group writing workshop\n• Guided prompts and writing exercises inspired by archaeology and personal storytelling\n• Workbook\, writing materials\, object description card\, and photograph will be provided.\n• Time to reflect\, write\, and share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with\n• Conversation about memory\, objects\, and the stories we attach to the things we keep\n• A chance to leave with new writing about an object that matters to you \nWhat to Bring\nOne meaningful object to write about.\nIt can be anything: a piece of jewellery\, an old photograph\, a childhood toy\, a handwritten note\, a souvenir\, a trinket\, a tool\, a book\, or something completely ordinary that holds a special memory.\nThe object does not need to be valuable or old. What matters is the story it carries for you.\nPlease bring an object that you can comfortably carry with you and have with you throughout the workshop.\nA personalized workbook will be provided for you to write in\, as well as pencils and pens. \nWho Is It For?\nStories We Keep is for anyone interested in personal storytelling\, memory\, objects\, and creative writing. Whether you already love to write or haven’t picked up a pen in years\, the workshop is designed to meet you where you are. \nCome curious\, come nostalgic\, come with an object and a story you haven’t quite put into words yet.
