Curiosity Created the Essay: Using a Whole Body Approach in Crafting Personal Narratives

Writing personal essays is a multi-faceted practice. The creation of them springs from memory and lived experiences that drive us to the page. But how do you turn this emotional curiosity into a polished piece? In this two-hour course, Athena Dixon will guide writers through how our work wells from not only our brains, but also our physical bodies. Participants will explore how to create vessels out of our senses, memories, and physical beings to help immerse our readers in a fully fleshed narrative experience.
