STORYCATCHING: WRITING AS THE ART OF CONNECTION
An East Bay Writing Workshop with Carolyn Foster

July 17, 24, 31 and August 7, 6:30-9:30 p.m.
UC Santa Cruz Extension, Cupertino facility

When you write your story, both your narrative and your life change. Storycatching, a term coined by author Christina Baldwin, uses the vivid details of experience to view the patterns of your life within a larger context. Following the connective threads of your unique stories strengthens your writing and your creative identity. In this four-session writing workshop, we will form a temporary community to catch the stories that are most personal and most universal. Themes will include:

  • Finding a story's entry point
  • Developing the story threads that are uniquely yours
  • Expanding the limits of your old stories
  • Tapping story's power to bridge differences

Facilitator: Coach and author Carolyn Foster, M.A., has taught inner-directed, publishing-oriented, and scholarly approaches to writing for over fifteen years and is the author of the national bestseller, The Family Patterns Workbook

When: 4 evenings – July 17, 24, 31 and August 7, 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Where: UC Santa Cruz Extension, Cupertino facility
