Offerings
Story Groups
Story groups are a place to engage your story in the presence of a group, guided by a trained facilitator. Over the course 8 weeks, each story group member writes a story of impact from childhood and reads it aloud to the group. The facilitator and group then explore that one story with the reader, offering kindness, curiosity, and reflective questions.
Confidentiality of content and consistency of attendance are crucial.
