∙ During an 8-week Guided Autobiography (GAB)/Life Storybook Workshop, participants meet weekly for two hours. Classes include instruction to assist students with the weekly writing assignment. Traditional GAB story themes include key life 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 setting (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 -- most often in a hardbound book or a more simply organized format. No writing experience necessary.

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