You should write that down or record it!” This is a statement Theresa has often said to many friends and acquaintances. Humans are full of incredible stories and we love them because they contain our personal experience, perceptions and our histories. Stories and the tellers who share them express a wide variety of unforgettable character, humanity, humor, heartache, and joy that is found everywhere in our life experience. A lifetime of sharing and hearing amazing stories has inspired Theresa to help people record their stories in print and video through her StoryCatcher Studios.A minimum of 4 is required for workshop to move forward, otherwise the class will cancel and refunds will be issued.Participants who enrolled in one of the previous one-session workshops on June 15 or June 22 will receive a $15 rebate on enrollment in this 5-week workshop session. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/west-springfield/five-week-series-stories-heritage-and-the-moments-that-shape-us/100001997051294180 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 129.89, max: 145.9, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: West Springfield - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Irish Cultural Center of Western New England - **lat**: 42.1301764 - **long**: -72.64207859999999 - **full address**: Irish Cultural Center of Western New England, 429 Morgan Road, West Springfield, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Five Week Series: Stories, Heritage, and the Moments That Shape Us - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/6ad194388dcbc612eb3433a93685167ae37a65efa1f9edd137312c949917ca7a-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8d8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1788463845 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Five Week Series: Stories, Heritage, and the Moments That Shape Us being held? - **A:** Five Week Series: Stories, Heritage, and the Moments That Shape Us takes place on Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 01:30 pm to Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 03:30 pm at Irish Cultural Center of Western New England, 429 Morgan Road, West Springfield, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Five Week Series: Stories, Heritage, and the Moments That Shape Us? - **A:** Five Week Series: Stories, Heritage, and the Moments That Shape Us is organized by Irish Cultural Center of Western New England. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
