CFG Guelph is pleased to virtually host award-winning, freelance journalist Anne Bokma, the author of “My Year of Living Spiritually: From Woo-Woo to Wonderful - One Woman's Secular Quest for a More Soulful Life”.

Write and Tell Your Personal Story:

Learn How to Craft & Deliver Your True-Life Tale

Sharing our stories is a sacred act. “All that we are is story,” said the late Canadian Ojibway writer Richard Wagamese. "From the time we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here.” This storytelling workshop presents you with tips and motivation to begin crafting and sharing a story from your life.

Anne will offer advice on how to get your story down on paper and how to deliver it in front of an audience. She will provide insights and exercises to help identify a true tale from your life that you want to write and share.
