OWN YOUR STORY is a creative writing workshop designed to explore personal narrative as a mental health tool by connecting participants to their truest story and promoting agency, pattern recognition, and emotional healing. Storytelling plays a powerful role in understanding how we recognize, navigate, and own emotional and traumatic events. When these stories are false, the way we show up in the world and in relationships is also false. Personal narrative creates a lens to explore events and emotion from a perspective of grace that facilitates space to find hope and healing.
