Write Your Life Stories: add SPICE to your life
This eight lesson home study course will teach you my unique SPICE tool that unlocks the secret to writing compelling stories based on your experiences. Each lesson provides a Limbering Up exercise and a Task to get you putting pen to paper. Be inspired, not only by the clear and practical instructions, but also by writings on those very same tasks created by my students. In addition to eight audio files you can also download a workbook that contains the same content, a SPICE chart for you to use and a video showing me teaching an introduction to my method in a classroom. This same method has been taught at the Watermill at Posara in Tuscany since 2012 in a residential retreat situation, in the Netherlands, Malaysia and online. Well over a 1000 students have learned its methods and many have gone on to publish their own memoirs.
