Life writing – Schreiben über das eigene Leben

Saturday | 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

WORKSHOP
with Dr. phil. AMELIE MAHLSTEDT

We tell stories to live. (Joan Didion)

Writing about our own lives opens doors to memories; things almost forgotten or only dreamed of are put down on paper, and inner images come to life. We write spontaneously and uncensored—and let ourselves be surprised! Inspired by writing prompts, participants will compose vignettes and short stories that stand on their own or can serve as a foundation for further writing. They’ll take a bird’s-eye view of life as a whole, reflecting on memorable turning points or highlights, and put their feelings into words. Everyone who is curious about reflecting on their own life through writing and who enjoys writing is invited to participate. 

Facilitator: Dr. phil. AMELIE MAHLSTEDT, born in 1976, freelance author and certified facilitator for writing workshops, creative writing, and biographical work (EAG-FPI)
