Story is sometimes described as “the first technology.” We’re made of stories; they’re how we make sense of an often senseless-seeming world. Yet when it comes to our own backstories, many of us feel alienated from them. We sense there’s a buried history inside us but we can’t seem to access it—or we never seem to find the time. Why bother? Who would care, anyway?

But when we reconnect with our buried stories, it frees us—and those around us. Sharing them is a form of permission, allowing others to approach the warm glow of reconnection. And it’s far easier than you might imagine. All that’s required is to steal past the gatekeepers of habit and self-protection. And I think I can help.

This two-hour event is a sharing, conversational, and writing exercise designed for non-writers. If you’re looking for a deeper relationship with your own buried story, this event will help you bypass the internal blocks that have kept you exiled from it. You’ll leave in deeper touch with your ancestry, your agency, and the transformative power of sharing your own story.
