Our body is the most reliable record-keeper of life experiences, much more so than our brain and what we like to call “memory.” For writers, our embodied experience is a vast and often-overlooked treasure chest of powerful stories.

Learn the importance of tapping into the treasure chest that is your body and how useful it can be to mine your body parts to re-member, or make whole, past experiences that have brought you to this point in your life. Together, we will consider excerpts from authors whose bodies feed remembering, and whose beautiful, memorable writing inspires us by its sheer physicality.

Become energized to dig into your own exclusive story archive with body-focused writing prompt ideas to explore in your own writing practice after the webinar. Gain a new set of tools for accessing your stories by collaborating with your eyes, belly, hips, or feet, etc., and discover the wonder of your body’s evocative abilities to turn forgotten incidents into vividly remembered scenes for richer, more visceral essays and memoir.
