About This Activity
In this 10-week course, we will follow Natalie Goldberg's classic book Old Friend from Far Away to build a daily memoir writing practice. Through timed, associative exercises, you'll quiet the inner critic and unlock genuine memory, moving from raw recollection toward writing that carries emotional and thematic weight. By the end, you'll have a body of original work, a daily writing habit, and a clearer sense of the shape your own memoir wants to take. Supplies: (1) Book: Natalie Goldberg, Old Friend from Far Away (If possible, read the Introduction and first two chapters before the first class meeting). (2) Notebook or looseleaf paper (3) Pen or pencils
