Embodying Stories: Peace

Stories are interwoven into our experience of life: they are how we come to know ourselves and to know others, and they are also how others come to know us in turn. Joan Didion said: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” We also tell ourselves stories in order to express what needs to be shared. Rather than suppressing, bypassing or turning away from what is real and present, our emotions, thoughts and values are a part of what it means to be human. Only in allowing ourselves to hold all of these and connect them in our bodies can we become free to express all of ourselves with new stories that move us into a future we want to belong to. If you don’t observe Easter Sunday, or want a creative way to celebrate it, join Kelsay Myers for her Easter Sunday exploration of inner and outer PEACE. In this workshop, she’ll guide you inwards to allow your inner sanctuary to reveal its shapes, size and colors. We’ll bring this inner sanctuary into expression through visualization, drawing and writing and give time to just be with what arises silently and in circle together. This will be time to slow down and connect with your inner self.
