WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Our lives are, by their very nature, messy and chaotic.
Our life stories contain a thousand tangents and possible episodes, insights and revelations, more material than we could ever include. So how do we organise it all? How can we bring order to this narrative jumble?
Are there questions we need to ask, signs we need to be watchful for, structures that can guide us, choices we need to make?
Join me for a free 1-hour workshop and I'll give you the best answers I have to all of these questions -- and more! While I can't promise to make life any less chaotic, I can offer light and clarity on the process of shaping that chaos into story.
