Start Your Story: Community Writing Workshop Coming to Borrego Springs

Have you ever wanted to write your story but didn't know where to begin?

Whether you're an experienced writer or someone who's simply been thinking about putting memories on paper, Start Your Story offers a welcoming place to begin.

Presented by Living Proof Stories and hosted at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center (BSPAC), this three-hour workshop will help participants turn personal experiences, dreams, and life lessons into a first draft. Along the way, attendees will learn storytelling techniques, strengthen their writing voice, and connect with others through the power of sharing stories.

Participation is limited to just 20 people, creating an encouraging and interactive environment. Following the workshop, 10 participants will be invited to continue developing their stories for the Promised Horizons Showcase on January 10, 2027. Up to five scholarships are also available for 11th and 12th grade students, with scholarship recipients receiving a new computer tablet upon completing the program.
