The story we tell ourselves and others gives us a sense of identity. It helps us organize our life in such a way that it gives us meaning and direction. Although not every memoir reflects a mythic theme, most memoir writers unconsciously reveal mythic themes in their desire to find meaning in their lives. They wonder: Who am I? Who are my people? What is my journey? What is my purpose? Where is home? Myth fuels the psychic desire of humans to understand their origins and therefore their destinies. Memoir brings forward an event of the past and re-enacts it by giving it form in writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The essence of a great memoir is the voice of the writer and how she brings the reader into a scene with sensory details. Memoir has to deliver vivid characters, evocative settings and pitch-perfect dialogue for the reader to remain interested. How you select and order the events in your life adds to the meaning\u00a0 you make of these events and helps you find a cohesive theme. Both myth and memoir arise from a human need for connection and that is why memoirs are so popular in culture today.<\/p>\n

In an atmosphere of friendship, support, and safety in the beautiful Hotel Santa Fe, you will have time and the opportunity to write, read excerpts from contemporary memoirs that reflect mythic themes, and listen to the power of your own words and the words of your sisters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
