“The Traveler” Creative Aging Writing & Storytelling Workshops
Travel is wherever your mind takes you and memories await you!
The best way to memorialize your travels through life is to write about them and/or talk about them. In this fun, interactive writing and storytelling workshop for older adults, you’ll have the opportunity to do both.
Join Nevada Arts Council and Lifetime Arts teaching artist, Joylynn M. Ross, and your fellow Nevadans or drop-in visitors for 90 minutes of reliving and retelling a moment worth writing and talking about.
The focus and theme is a moment from one of your past travels. If you need help unearthing one of those experiences, don’t worry. There will be plenty of hands-on assistance and engaging prompts provided to you by your instructor and your peers … because in this workshop, each participant is both the student and the teacher. No one will have to travel this writing and storytelling journey alone!
And keep in mind that traveling doesn’t have to be in a plane, train, boat, or automobile across the map. It can be a mind traveling experience to a make-believe world, or traveling from one side of town to another, to a local event or one far, far away. Again, travel is wherever your mind takes you . . . even if it’s simply traveling back in time to recall a moment from your past.
Ross will be presenting four Creative Aging older adult writing and storytelling sessions at various Las-Vegas Clark County Library District branches throughout the summer for the 55+ community. If in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, feel free to drop in for any or all of the following sessions that are FREE for you to attend:
