Who else is loved so deeply and, conversely, blamed so intensely as one’s mother? The mother stories we carry can empower or derail us. Many of us struggle with limiting cultural myths about motherhood and old stories about our mothers that cover hidden longings. Using guided imagery, meditation, journal writing and group processing we will explore our stories and expand your life.
CANCELLED. Stay tuned for updates!

Amy Bloom’s new masterpiece, IN LOVE: A MEMOIR OF LOVE AND LOSS , will serve as a springboard for this workshop. This profound memoir insists we contemplate questions we avoid: dealing with a terminal diagnosis for ourselves or a loved one–the emotional toll of supporting and grieving a loved one. What questions do we need to ask ourselves? And of those we love? How long do we want to live? How long do we want to be “kept alive?” Excerpts from Bloom’s book will offer prompts to help you dig down deep and examine your thoughts and feelings and, in the process, we will explore crucial storytelling techniques.
This intensive writing retreat will stimulate your imagination and sharpen your writing skills via generative writing exercises and the analysis of Bloom’s storytelling methods. Registration includes submission of your own work: Line edits and written feedback on 10 pages (2,500 words, double spaced, in 12–14-point type). Please read In Love before the workshop.
Submissions can be emailed to both Judy and Laura jrrabinor@gmail.com & zinnfromm@gmail.com To reserve, please Zelle or Venmo @Judith-Rabinor or @Laura_Zinn_Fromm. You can also pay via credit card here.
Questions? Please ask! Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you live or remotely.

Keeping Our Mothers Alive: A Writing Workshop
Please join me and Laura Zinn Fromm on October 22 at the Manhattan JCC, from 5:30 to 7:30, for “Keeping Our Mothers Alive: A Writing Workshop.”
Who else is loved so deeply and blamed so intensely as one’s mother? Whether your mother is dead or alive, the stories you tell about her have a profound impact on how you live your live life. Most mothers are neither “Perfect” nor are they “Mommy Dearest.” These images devalue the complexity of the mothers we have, had and are. In this writing workshop you will be guided through a series of exercises that help you see the complexity of your mother-story.
