Supercharge Your Memory!

Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Greek orator Simonides conceived the Memory Palace technique. This ancient knowledge remains fresh and relevant today—you can use it to remember speeches, scripts, lists, and other sequential information. Join us as we turn Backstory Bookshop into a Memory Palace and amp up our brain power! We’ll also delve into the fascinating history of how this system was embraced—and transformed—by Roman politicians, Medieval mystics, and Renaissance scholars, and why it died a needless death soon afterward.

This event is free and open to the public. Limited space available! Be sure to RSVP on Backstory Bookshop’s website.
