Author of Memoirs of the Soul: Writing Your Spiritual Autobiography, |
• More selective than journals, memoirs focus on keenly-felt hours and minutes, times when we are most alive, times when experiences are significant.
• More profound than family histories and genealogies, memoirs enrich those records when added to them.
• Nan shows a vital and engaging way to discover and record your very essence.
“Never having attended such a workshop before, I was amazed by how easily and surely Nan Phifer guided this group, within a very short period of time, into actual writing. Through a seamless progression of exercises, Nan guided a process of reflection that tapped deep into the individual's personal experience. With great skill and an intuitive sense of timing, Nan Phifer then organized the writing assignment and small group responses. It was quite wonderful.”

“…sensitive, articulate, direct and clear. Her years of teaching experience are evident in the effortless way she is able to draw out people's stories without intimidation or the usual fears of self-exposure.”

Nan Phifer is a stealth-bomber. She sneaks in, appears sweet and gentle and lovely, but then opens us up through writing to our own explosive promise.
