GAB Connects Us: Creating Resilience in Challenging Times

"Out of crisis comes community." Guided Memoir and Life Story writing using the Guided autobiography (GAB) method is a powerful way to write and preserve your life stories and simultaneously gain profound personal insight. GAB certified instructors can help you create resilience and find community during this time of isolation and fear. We can also help you write your story and to preserve them for future generations. By sharing our stories, we also share the experience. The online workshops offer a safe, non-judgmental setting for participants to learn about themselves and connect with others as you write your life story two pages at a time.

• Each week, the instructor shares priming questions to inspire memories for various themes such as; branching point, home, family, etc. Themes include both pandemic related questions and life questions.

• At home, participants pen a two-page story on the theme, which they share the following week in a supportive, confidential environment.

• NO WRITING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. Each participant is telling their story in their words. Ongoing guidance is provided.

Requirements:

• Internet

• Computer, Web camera & Microphone (If you would like to participate and do not have these, please reach out to your community director.)

• 6 week/workshop commitment. Please register for the first session and you will be registered for all six weeks.
