Story Group

I am thrilled to invite you to join a new group offering through part of my capstone project for facilitator training with The Allender Center, an organization that is dedicated to helping others explore and heal from past trauma, abuse, and relational harm.

What:

It is my belief that no one escapes harm in this life and that we all have stories from our past that need healing and restoration. However, there are very few contexts in which these narrative dimensions of our lives are given proper space to heal in an intentional and supported way. I believe this can only happen when we courageously risk telling our stories to others.

In this group, you will have the opportunity to explore some of the particularities of your personal story and address some of the relational and emotional impacts of the harm, neglect, abuse, and trauma that you have experienced. What this means is that in this group you will write about and share a story of harm from your childhood/adolescence, helping you to understand and reflect on the recurring themes in your life, all within a supportive and guided small group led by myself.

Included in this offering is exclusive access to The Allender Center’s “To Be Told” online course, designed to invite you into a deeper engagement of your story throughout the duration of the small group.

This group will meet once a week for approximately 90 minutes over an 7 week period, beginning in the first week of February, 2025. (Specific times and dates to be determined)

Location:

For convenience and to allow participants from out of state, this group will be held virtually on Zoom.
