Story Exploration Workshops

Learning how to intentionally author our individual and collective stories, real-time.

There are times when the life that we have lived leads us to a place of discomfort or confusion.
There are times when the things that we have experienced feel like too much for anyone to understand...even to ourselves.
There are times when the hunger for safe support becomes unbearable, but difficulties to trust...to show up...to venture into old memories can be impossible to do alone.
Sometimes when we get a safe experience of connecting, listening, observing and being meaningfully engaged within community it can unlock areas of the mind and heart that have been without words and honest emotion for too long.
The reality is that your STORY matters even if you have been led to believe that your life and impact are insignificant.
Your STORY is a part of a greater narrative that links your life, experiences and continued trajectory to a generational story – past, present, future, while being influenced continually by influences of nature, location, culture and memory.

Story Exploration Engagement

While to one-to-one therapeutic processing of past experiences can be a restorative experience for adults, from all walks of life a – the experience of sharing space, time and a developing a sense of mutual vulnerability within a group setting, has great potential of offering the attunement that we have been hungry for, for an entire lifetime. The experience of re-exploring stories in our lives that have had the power to shape the way that we see ourselves, has the power to positively change the trajectory of personal and intersecting stories while interrupting cycles of harm that have felt otherwise impossible to overcome.

In the Story Exploration Experience you can expect…

Relationally-focused small group connections between 5 - 7 adult participants, spending up to 10 weeks together on a story exploration journey. On this journey, each participant will explore a memory from their life that has impacted their sense of who they know themselves to be, today. Participants will gain the tools to re-explore their story with new eyes, and with relationally collaborative support. Through Story Exploration participants can expect the unfolding of new senses and perspectives attached to our stories that lead to more freedom and healing.

Regularly paced meetings over a span of multiple weeks, rooted in the practices of:

  • Collaborative Listening
  • Relational Reflection
  • Progressive Revelation

Opportunity to Opportunities:

  • Relational models of security, safety and curiosity
  • Perspective change
  • Deeper acceptance, self-support and increased self esteem
  • Tools to compassionately engage shame, codependence and self condemnation
  • Increased capacity for more stable relationships

Group Encounters

Story Exploration groups offer a meaningful opportunity to explore historical themes of social and emotional experiences. In a small group setting, participants are invited to explore a pre-selected memory in a non-judgemental small group environment, while developing a deeper understanding about the mind, nervous system and the ways that we have shown up in relationships that can dampen our most authentic self.
