Reflections Memoirs
2026-01-08 13:00 - 14:30
One of our most popular offerings, Silver Spring Village now boasts three active memoir writing groups—and they continue to fill quickly. Why the enthusiasm?
These small, welcoming groups offer a chance to reflect, write, and share life stories in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting. Participants discover the pleasure of putting memories on paper, the satisfaction of being truly heard, and the unexpected connections that emerge when stories are shared. No prior writing experience is needed—just curiosity about your own life and an interest in listening to others.
If you’ve ever thought, “Someday I should write this down,” this may be the perfect place to begin.
