Offerings
Story Groups
Story groups are a place to engage with your story in the presence of a group, guided by a trained facilitator. During the course of 6-8 weeks, each story group member writes a story of impact from childhood and reads it aloud to the group. The facilitator and group then explore that one story with the reader, offering kindness, curiosity, and reflective questions. Confidentiality of content and consistency of attendance are crucial.
TYPES OF STORY GROUPS

Individual storywork offers you a customized number of sessions to explore core stories ranging from overtly traumatic experiences of abuse to more covert experiences of harm like loneliness, grief, or disappointment.
