Childhood contains some of our happiest and most formative memories. When we re-connect with these memories, we re-connect with our childhood emotions and open the door to learning something about our adult selves. In this session, we will remember happy moments from our childhoods, create photographs based on these recollections, and discuss the lessons we learned from these experiences.
