Memoir Writing Course

#1 Exploring Adolescence

The Greek poet Homer wrote The Odyssey to tell the journey Odysseus went through. After surviving the war at Troy he went through all manner of trials and adventures in his quest to return to his homeland of Ithaca.

Whereas Homer divided The Odyssey into 24 books, this memoir writing course takes you through 12 stages of life.

Adolescence can be regarded as the second life passage we navigate, in which we pull up from our roots to form our identity. 

You will explore themes of adolescence from a more left-brained or biographical perspective as well as from the mythic or right-brained perspective to incorporate the archetypal model.

The writing activities are designed to help you write about and explore your adolescence.

You will receive feedback on your writing and help in locating the overarching theme of your life’s journey.
