∙ During an 8-week Guided Autobiography (GAB)/Life Storybook I workshop, participants meet weekly for two hours. Classes include instruction to assist students with the weekly writing assignment. Traditional GAB story themes include key turning points; family; friendships; school days; major life work; family celebrations and holidays; historical times, vacations/travels, pets, and other topics. Students also have the option of writing each week about a topic of their own choosing. Each week, participants write a 2-page (or longer) story, which they read aloud during their next class. This confidential story sharing in a small group (no more than six students) is the heart of the GAB program. Stories, complemented with photos and other treasured memorabilia, become part of a legacy to share with family and friends -- in a paperback or hardbound book. No writing experience necessary.

∙ Anne also offers advanced, personalized Guided Autobiography/ Life Storybook (GAB II) workshops for those who completed the introductory GAB I course. Students are encouraged to take as many GAB II courses as they wish until they have completed all desired stories for their life story book(s).
