To remember is an intentional exercise in practicing gratitude, love, and honor—for yourself and others—by marking seasons of your journey, making meaning of your grief, celebrating milestones, and finding the courage to live. Storytelling synthesizes meaning from the fragments of our lives—the things we hope for, or forget, or fail to find the language to describe. When we share the truth of our experiences, we become architects of memory—building safe spaces where we can feel seen, wrestle with reality, and recognize glory even in the ordinariness of our lives. Participants will be encouraged to embrace archiving as an instrument of freedom and will leave the workshop with self-portraits and equipped with tools to continue documenting their stories through art. Ticketed event ($35) with a capacity of 35 participants.
