"Engaging your story is the single most important thing you can do to experience healing."
Adam Young, Make Sense of Your Story
“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
bell hooks, All about Love
We all have a story.
In fact, it's so much more than that. As Dan Allender says, "We don't just have stories; we are a story."
As we grow up, our stories may include joy, delight, and beauty. We also experience disappointment, heartache, and harm. As we navigate the highs and lows of life, we begin to write a narrative of the ways we experienced our life to make sense of how or why things happened the way they did.
These stories form us into who we are today, and become the scaffolding of our identity. When our stories inevitably include shame and disappointment, our self image becomes distorted.
By engaging with these stories, we accept an invitation to address specific and particular moments that have defined our lives in ways we are often unaware.
Join a Story Cohort to engage in the courageous and sacred work of connecting, bearing witness, and being known.
What is story work?
Story work is learning to tell the truth about your own story and engage it in a way that acknowledges what your body knows, feeling unfelt feelings from the past, and allowing an empathetic witness to hold that story with you.
