BREW hosted a free food memoir writing workshop on Saturday, January 18th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will be writing about and sharing our memories of the place food has held in our lives. No writing experience is required. This workshop is about reflecting on our memories and then writing them down as if we are telling them to someone as a story. You will leave with some special written memories and will have the delight of hearing the memories of your friends and neighbors. 

Bring warm layers in case you want to walk and spend time outside as you think and write, and bring something to write on (journal, note paper) and something to write with. The workshop will be facilitated by Sarah Kotchian, an Elenora Street writer who has been working on a compilation of comfort food oral histories. In addition, there will be a campfire gathering that evening at the RV Park, where those in the workshop and other local friends can share these and other stories. 

Limited to ten participants. No cost, but please register in advance with Professor Michelle Hall Kells, mkells@unm.edu (Registration in order of email receipt date). 

In collaboration with the EcoLiteracy at UNM Project. For further information about events and programs at the University of New Mexico: Professor Michelle Hall Kells mkells@unm.edu
