Writer explores healing power of reminiscence
Robin Edgar hosts a women's story circle Monday.
Charlotte writer and reminiscence-writing teacher Robin Edgar holds a free women's story circle 7-8:30 p.m. Monday.
Edgar, author of "In My Mother's Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence," gives participants prompts dealing with issues of love and forgiveness. Group members share stories, then flesh them out in writing.
"Some people come because they want to develop their writing skills," she says. "Others do it because journaling is so healing."
Her work is part of the Story Circle Network, a national nonprofit group. Edgar's group meets monthly at her home. Seating is limited. More information: 704-365-6538 or e-mail robinedgar@earthlink.net. -- Pam Kelley
