Writing the Stories of Your Life

Sunday, March 30th, 2025 1-4 PM The Center, Bridgehampton, Long Island, NY

When Catharine H. Murray lost her six-year-old son to cancer, she thought  that she would never recover. Fifteen years later, she inspires audiences  with her story of healing through writing and offers a way through grief.

In Writing the Stories of Your Life, a three-hour writing workshop, Murray invites us to delve into  our own losses, presenting take-home techniques for combining memory, stress, and story to develop engaging writing  while cultivating the essential art of self-compassion. Participants will learn how to  examine and write the challenges of the past to bring more intensity to their stories and  more peace to their lives.
