Write Your Story. Find Your Voice!
Stories contain a special magic—beyond the sum of their words. Through personal stories, we gain the power to heal, let go, connect, inspire, and transform. Our stories help us reflect on the past, make sense of the present, and create the future.
Have you ever wanted to tell your story—to express your insights, your humor, or your passion in words? Here's your chance to work with key stories from your life, to explore new meaning, to connect more deeply with your inner voice, to tap into the unique wisdom that is yours alone.
In this writing workshop, we’ll review the elements of a story, as the backdrop for organizing your thoughts. Using story mapping tools, you’ll identify a story or turning point in your life and plant seeds for story development. Though a series of writing exercises, you’ll begin to craft your story, and through this work, gain insight into your story’s larger meaning. Writing personal stories focuses your attention in a rich and powerful way, opening up a dialogue that can sustain you throughout life.
If you’d like to experience the power of writing stories to reshape your world, please join us. You will leave this session with one of your stories captured in words. This may be only the beginning!

A monthly workshop designed to support your journey to change.
Voices of Hope is a series of events designed to inspire your personal journey through life’s challenges to a place healing and joy.
Through hearing the stories of other’s journeys we can be inspired to appreciate our journeys in a new way. In this interactive event conscious connections to personal wisdom will be encouraged and supported. We have designed the activities to create, support, and embody trust, respect and safety in a non-judgemental way.
In bearing witness to how others have moved through illness, death, pain, loss, hopelessness, confusion, depression, fear and anger, we can see our own way through to create our own plan of survival and success.
Through a series of absorbing activities you will gain a great sense of passion...of power...of focus. We help you discover your process and work to support it.
Our goal is not to tell you what to do, but to inspire you to explore, excavate, release, and bring forth your own path to happiness and fulfillment through personal discovery.
You will learn:
• to hear your voice and gain the ability to speak it
• to recognize your wisdom and the power it ignites • to excavate the lessons of your journey to create a personal way through your challenges. • methods to create paths to inner wisdom.
• to express what you want in a way that honors you as an individual and as part of the world.
Who will benefit:
• Anyone ready for a change.
• Individuals who have lived through dramatic events and are ready to move on.
