  • Techniques to connect with the senses and make memory vibrant
  • How to "pull out" the natural structure of the stories you carry within
  • How writing about the past can help free you from it, and much more

Review for Old Friend from Far Away

Listening to Natalie Goldberg's CD is like talking with an old friend, such a warm and caring conversational tone. Lots of good ideas for accessing memories, lots of good ideas for starting the flow of writing. Love it!
