Have you dreamed of writing a memoir but didn’t know how or where to begin? Or thought taking the time to write about what happened to you was selfish? It’s not. It’s therapeutic.
Writing as a way of healing helps you get over pain in a constructive way and helps you find inner peace by focusing on the “Inside You.”
Pain doesn’t distinguish between gender, religion, socioeconomic, or color, it lies beneath the surface—inside you. Though we each have a unique experience, we can heal the same way: by writing down what hurt us, still hurts us.
Whether your dream is to publish your memoir, share it with family or just get it on paper, this class will help you with the first step in your healing journey.

About the Presenter
“Half In” won the 2022 “Outstanding LGBT Book of the Year Award” (fiction and non-fiction) from the Independent Author Network. “90 Lessons,” the recipient of numerous self-help book awards, was inspired by the YouTube video of Felice's 90-square-foot New York City studio that went viral with over 25 million views. Felice has been featured on Good Morning America, NBC, CBS, NPR, Time, Globe & Mail, New York Daily News, the Daily Mail and more. What enabled Felice to “live large” in that tiny studio is that she has been a professional organizer for over 25 years.
As the grandchild of two Holocaust survivors, Felice's book, “What Papa Told Me,” a memoir about her grandfather’s life before, during and after the war, was endorsed by Elie Wiesel and Yad Vashem: The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, is taught in schools across the country, has been translated into Polish, and has sold over 35,000 copies around the world. Felice splits her time between New York City and Cape Cod.
