From Laura Davis: How to Write Summary

From November 4-6, I retreated to the redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Only 20 minutes from my front porch and I was in another world called Land of the Medicine Buddha, a conference center where 30 of  us participated in a Memoir Writing class conducted by local leader, Laura Davis.

She read to us, gave us prompts; we wrote, we read our work to each other. A circle of strangers became, in a brief time, a circle of intimates.
