Guided Autobiography Group
Guided Autobiography is a life review practice in which a small group of participants meets weekly for six sessions of approximately two and a half hours. Each week, each group member writes a short autobiographical fragment of approximately 1000 words in response to a series of prompts on a theme, and shares what they have written by reading aloud during the second half of the session. Each group member makes a commitment to write regularly and attend each session, and to listen to and to comment empathically on others’ stories.
This group has a limited capacity. To be added to the waitlist for the next session email events@emerituscollege.ubc.ca
