Caring for Memories

JUNE PUBLIC WORKSHOP WITH PAULINE MARKSTEINER-WILDE

As a biographical counselor, Pauline is always interested in how to help people carry their memories in a way that honors themselves as well as their memories. She is interested in how to help people find their rightful space and place. Rather than hide, ignore or deny them, we can ask ourselves the living question: “What do they need from me, from you, from us that we can take care of them in the way they need and long to be? How can we give them a landing place, a nest? Pauline will lead to explore this theme together using images, dialogue, self-reflection, and creativity.

The workshop on Zoom includes small group exercises and reflections shared in the full group. We will use artistic and imaginative exercises to open up biographical experiences. And, as always, we will practice listening deeply.

The monthly workshops at Center for Biography & Social Art are not recorded to respect the confidentiality of the participants. The cost for the public workshops is on a sliding scale from $25.00 to $100.00. You will receive a Zoom link a day prior to the workshop.
