MEMORIES TO MEMOIRS
Memories to Memoirs is a program held at the Danbury Senior Center. The art of writing memoirs gives students the ability to challenge themselves to write about an event in their own history that also resonates with readers. Over the course of the six week program, students come together to share their stories, generating a bond between them. As they progress, they take a deeper dive into the story they have chosen. This not only enlightens readers; the writers also learn more about themselves as they document their memories.
“Beth’s Memories to Memoir Class has been an absolute gift to our seniors. So much so, that they have asked for it to become a regular occurrence here at the Danbury Senior Center. Beth provides a supportive environment for our seniors to share their memories and ideas and helps get those ideas onto paper. We are firm believers that the arts play a pivotal role in healthy aging and this program is one of our most popular.”
