Discover Your Story

This in-person, small group experience teaches you how to discover your story and hold safe space for the stories of others. Using Art Journaling and "I am From" poetry we will practice the Listen, Lean in, Learn, and Create model of story discovery. Participants commit to showing up each week with kindness and curiosity for group members as we learn to hold space for each other together. Participants create 2 Art Journaled pages, write and share an "I am From" poem, and learn to create a story catalog in this class. This is an interactive experience.
