Description


Through guided writing exercises and shared storytelling, discover the moments and experiences that shape your personal narrative. Whether you’re writing for yourself, your family, or a broader audience, this workshop will help you get started, uncover key themes in your story, and bring meaning to your memories.




This is a supportive, no-pressure group where you can explore writing in a welcoming space alongside others who may be new to the craft. As the first workshop of its kind at MakeHaven, we’re excited to explore the creative process together, opening up the possibilities of what it means to tell a story.


What to Expect


• Timed Writing & Prompts – Structured exercises will help you get words on the page without overthinking.

• Listening & Sharing – This is not a critique class. Instead, it’s a space to share and reflect in a supportive environment.

• Finding Your Narrative Thread – Every life has an arc; we’ll explore what has brought you to where you are today.

• Exploring Sense of Place – Learn to ground your story in vivid locations and moments from your past.


Skills You’ll Acquire


• Techniques to capture personal memories in writing.

• Methods for structuring a narrative from life experiences.

• Tools for setting scenes and evoking place in storytelling.

• Confidence in sharing your story with others.


What’s Provided


• Writing prompts and structured exercises.

• A welcoming, supportive environment to explore your voice.


Who Should Attend


• Anyone interested in personal storytelling—whether for private reflection or publication.

• Writers at any level who want to develop a deeper connection to their experiences through writing.

• People looking for a safe, encouraging space to share and listen to others’ stories.


Prerequisites/Safety Information

• No prior writing experience required.

What to bring

• Fast Writing Pen and Legal Pad or Notebook


This is a four-part workshop, meeting over four consecutive Tuesdays, starting March 4th.
