Sacred Story Writing with Dawn Sunday, February 22nd, 1:00pm-5:00pm SE Portland, $55.00
"Everyone has the right to tell the truth about her own life." -Ellen Bass
Each of us is the author of our own life. However, many of the stories we unconsciously tell ourselves over and over keep us from happiness and from realizing our full potential. What story are you telling yourself about who you are or what you are capable of that is keeping you from moving forward in your life? What are you ready to release in order to create more space for joy? In this afternoon workshop, we'll use the powerful tools of visualization and story writing to gain more awareness about what is ready to be transformed in our lives. We'll write and release the old story and will then embark upon our exciting next chapter. No previous writing experience is necessary.
