SUMMARY:Lifting the Threads: Writing Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Feb 17 & 24 and March 3\, 2026\n12-1:30 p.m. \n$154\n \n\nAs storytellers\, how do we balance our present lived experience with the past that shapes it? In Jewish tradition\, memory and narrative carry profound weight—from the retelling of ancestral journeys in the Torah to the intimate stories passed through our families. In this 3-week workshop\, we’ll explore strategies for seamlessly integrating backstory\, experimenting with time shifts to deepen meaning rather than interrupt narrative flow. Through readings\, discussion\, and writing prompts\, we will move fluidly between temporal layers—the “forward momentum” of the lived story and the “backwards glance” demanded by memory.\n \nBy the end of the workshop\, you will produce a short memoir piece that demonstrates fluid interplay between present and past—using backstory as a source of resonance\, not digression\, and honoring the threads of memory that connect us to our histories and communities.\n \n\nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nMegan Vered writes about family\, friendship\, and the dazzle of daily life. Megan lives in Marin County\, where she facilitates local\, international\, and Jewish-themed writing groups. Her essays and interviews have appeared in HuffPost\, Kveller\, The Jewish Writing Project\, High Country News\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and the Writer’s Chronicle\, among others. Megan holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and chairs the board of Heyday Books. Learn more about her work at www.meganvered.com\n \n \n
