Getting Started on Your Story
A Memoir-Writing Workshop
led by Award-Winning Canadian Journalist & Storyteller
Anne Bokma
Sunday, November 23, 2025 directly following the regular 10:30 service at which Anne will be speaking about Why Your Story Matters.

​An opportunity to familiarize yourself with the art of memoir and start thinking about a story
you might like to write and tell from your life. Workshop leader Anne Bokma says, “Teaching memoir
is one of my greatest joys. I will guide you through the process, and I can promise you it will be a lively
and meaningful and creative workshop experience. By the end of the 90 minutes, you will have
completed – at the very least – the opening line to a story from your life.”

Anne has written for many of Canada’s major magazines and newspapers, specializing in articles
on spirituality, relationships, health and travel. She has received awards from the North American Travel
Journalists Association, Canadian Business Press, Canadian Society of Magazine Editors, and many more.
