Join our 8-week Story Work Group
Our lives are woven with both stunning beauty and deep wounding. Wounds sustained early in life still impact us today. They shape how we relate to God, ourselves, and others. These patterns of relating limit our ability to love and be loved in the way God intends for us. When we courageously step into a safe space where our stories of pain, harm, or betrayal are seen, heard and held by others, healing becomes possible.
A story group offers a powerful opportunity to explore the deeper themes of your life in a supportive, facilitated environment. Additionally, you are invited to participate in the healing of others as you learn and practice the skill of attentive listening and kind engagement of group members’ stories. This 8-week group includes six to seven participants and a trained facilitator. Each participant will be guided and coached in writing and sharing a short vignette (600 – 1000 words) from their formative years (Ages 4 – 18).
Through the process of writing, sharing, as well as listening to others’ stories, you will begin to see how the formative experiences of your life have shaped the ways you presently relate to yourself, others, and to God. As you are heard, known, and cared for within the group, we anticipate the Spirit’s healing presence – bringing freedom, restoration and a deeper capacity to live into person you were created to be.
Here’s what you’ll gain and experience in this story group:
Eight weekly, 2-hour sessions with a small group of six or seven participants and a trained facilitator.
Guided discussions and reflections designed to help you engage and understand your story
Coaching and support as your write and share a story of harm, heartache, or trauma from your formative years.
A story work workbook which will aid in the engagement of your story and the stories of others.

One bonus 50 minute 1:1 coaching + soul care session with Dean to support your growth and healing.
Greater somatic awareness and healing as you explore how your body has carried your story
Practical tools to help you engage others in a way that invites transformation, using empathy, curiosity, and kindness.
A deeper understanding of who God created you to be and greater clarity around your unique calling in the world.
