Hosted by Scripps Cancer Center this free support group will take place March 4 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.. It will provide people who are living with advanced-stage cancer an opportunity to share experiences, information and concerns with others who live with similar challenges. In this group, participants can express thoughts and feelings that come up when living with advanced cancer — and gain insight, peer support and understanding. Led by an experienced medical social worker, the group focuses on the challenges of living with advanced cancer, including purpose, fear, family and transitions. Advance registration is required by contacting Jeanne Vestevich at 760-492-5899 or email vestevich.jeanne@scrippshealth.org.

Group Description Note: Though this class is offered as part of the Certificate in Memoir Writing, there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. Agents often share that what makes a memoir stand out in the marketplace is a strong author’s voice. In this workshop we will uncover the soul of the writing with fun and interactive voice techniques to make the storytelling as dynamic as possible. Students will also learn how to craft smooth transitions as well as how to enter and exit a chapter or scene. Participants will gain a better understanding how to create a seamless text that takes the reader between past memories (flashbacks) and present-day experiences and observations. We will work on bringing the theme of the piece to life so that the manuscript will resonate with universal meaning. Symbolism will also be explored as a way to deepen the writing and flesh out the theme of your book. Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self. Our textbook, "7 Essential Writing Tools," is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle. Note: There will be no class on July 4th!
