YOUR STORY CAME LOOKING FOR YOU

• a film 
• a series 
• a memoir 
• a book 

Or something you don’t have words for. This workshop is designed to help you listen for it.

Together, we’ll explore four places stories often come from:

• Memory 
• Wound 
• Wonder 
• Inheritance 

Through guided reflection, writing prompts, and witnessing

• A clearer sense of the story pulling at them 
• A written scene, memory, or beginning 
• Tools for finding stories through memory, wonder, wound, and inheritance 
• A simple daily writing practice that feels sustainable 
• A collectible CYNRG story zine to continue the work afterward

The first group to enter this workshop will help shape what it becomes.

Because of that, the Founding Cohort includes:

• Printed CYNRG story zine mailed to you 
• Discounted access to future workshops
• Small groups of 15 to protect the intimacy of the room.
• Priority access to future workshops 

Participants will leave with:

• A clearer sense of the story pulling at them 
• A written scene, memory, or beginning 
• Tools for finding stories through memory, wonder, wound, and inheritance 
• A simple daily writing practice that feels sustainable 
• A collectible CYNRG story zine to continue the work afterward
