Join instructor Curt Nehring-Bliss for a relaxed, welcoming writing workshop designed to help you put those memories and stories on paper.

What’s a family story you never want forgotten? A memory that still makes you laugh? A lesson you learned the hard way—or something you wish you could tell your younger self?

Join instructor Curt Nehring-Bliss for a relaxed, welcoming writing workshop designed to help you put those memories and stories on paper. Through fun prompts and guided exercises, you might write about childhood, family traditions, people who shaped you, meaningful moments, or hopes for the future.

You don’t need to be a “writer”—you just need a story to tell.

Bring a pen, a notebook, and maybe a friend. No writing experience necessary!
