Join Dr. Kim Bateman, Dean of Sierra College, and Cari Leversee, CMT/FDR, in viewing this remarkable, thought-provoking film that looks at many of the issues we will all face at the end-of-life -- whether it be ours or our loved ones. It will open the floodgates of thought and conversation on this most difficult and often taboo topic. Kim and Cari will facilitate a discussion afterwards to assist all of us in moving through some of the questions all of us need to contemplate. This is truly an opportunity to come together, and by working together, all of us can make a big difference in inspiring a cultural shift.
'Women Empowering Women' Present: "Write Your Life" by Julie Lee
Date: Monday, May 21st Time: 10a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Everyone has a story to tell.
This presentation gives you tools to tell your tale.
If you’re a grandparent who wants to share your history with your grandchildren or a new mom who wants to keep a record for your child or a world traveler who has seen exotic sites,
this lecture gives you accessible instruction to initiate writing.
How do we become the people we say we are when we write the stories of our lives? This presentation moves through a brief history of personal writing to show how memoir became an important modern genre.
If memoirs allow us to understand the direction and meaning of our lives, then identity and morality are inextricably connected. What role does memory play when we record what we have experienced? Julie asks you to think about your experience, history, and identity as you begin or continue to record the stories of your life.
Julie Lee is currently a blissed out mom and formally a UNR English lecturer / Sierra College writing instructor, who loves to share the craft of writing. Julie writes short stories and unpublished novels, memoir, essays, bad poems, journals on travel and meditation, letters to her husband, and records of the milestones and antics of her son, James.
Please bring pen and paper for a hands-on experience.
Reservations are highly recommended. Leave a message for Martha at 587-4429 or alternately, Email Martha.

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” Jesus
“One of the greatest paradoxes of the mystical life is this: that a person cannot enter into the deepest center of oneself and pass through that center into God, unless one is able to pass entirely out of oneself and empty oneself and give oneself to other people in the purity of selfless love.” Thomas Merton (adapt inclusive language)
Refreshments will be served Event made possible by Truckee Church of the Mountains
