"Only Connect" • A WRITING WORKSHOP

Workshop Description

Advances in neuroscience technology mean we can now watch videos of brain cells reaching out for new connections—human experience writ small. We are meaning-making creatures, and our most interesting discoveries often come when we make connections between experiences we did not see as related.

In this six-week workshop, we’ll respond to a diverse range of prompts to stimulate memory and
look for connections that will enrich our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.
