Relaxing into Memoir Writing Workshop
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
November 11 - 14, 2014
Are you interested in writing about your life? Or maybe you’ve already started and feel somewhat stalled? Join me and my colleague Dyane Lynch, a certified yoga instructor, for a calming week of writing and yoga in the enchanting colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. In this four-day workshop, you will explore the genre of personal writing and learn techniques to delve into your deepest memories, bringing them to life through the written word. You will have the opportunity to share your writing and receive feedback from your fellow participants, providing you with the confidence to keep going. We will also discuss avenues for publishing your work.
This workshop will take place at LifePath, a centre in San Miguel de Allende that has become an important part of the community there. It is a pillar of strength and contributes to the well being of many. Hundreds of people have come to LifePath from all over the world, on retreat as well as for individual sessions, classes and workshops. The reputation of LifePath has been built on integrity, by word of mouth and by having a strong marketing outreach.
Workshop fee: $575 US (includes tea, coffee, and fruit in the mornings and afternoons; excludes airfare, transfers, and accommodation)
A course schedule, registration form, and information on getting to San Miguel de Allende will be available at this site soon.
The workshop was a huge success! Here are some comments from the participants:

The workshop was a huge success! Here are some comments from the participants:
- The writing exercises were right on -- encouraging us to write about very significant areas of our lives.
- Loved having Dyane do the meditations, yoga, dance… to open space in our hearts and minds, which allowed us to do the emotional excavation and writing.
- Maureen and Dyane complemented each other beautifully.
- The space created was small, intimate, and safe, which really helped us go deep in our writings.
- As you can tell, I was thrilled with this workshop -- very grateful to have been a part of it and hope to stay in touch with two marvellous teachers.
- Excellent ... met program objectives ... met participants' expectations ... extremely helpful in writing personal memoir.
