Join Kelsay Elizabeth Myers and Dialogical Persona for Embodying Stories, a FREE online series on Power, Peace, Patience, and Strength!“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.
March 17 – Power
POWER is a concept that has a lot of charge and edge around it. It can mean many different things, and the way we respond to it can take many different shapes and reveal conflicting stories within us. In this workshop, we’ll explore the connection between power and recognition. What expressions do various dialogues between these bring up for you? What does leadership mean to you and how can you bring it into more embodiment? If you know you can step into more power within your own leadership style, you won’t want to miss this!
April 20 – Peace
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.
May 18 – Patience
Do you allow yourself time to breathe and to bring compassion and presence into your daily life? Building off the peace cultivated in last month’s workshop, we’ll be exploring PATIENCE to help you stay present in the moment with grace and empathy rather than flying through your life without paying attention to what is right in front of you or getting carried away by anxious thoughts. Take a moment to slow down and allow yourself the gift of expanding into new stories with patience.
June 15 – Strength
On Father’s Day, if you are unable to celebrate with your father, come remember and reconnect to the STRENGTH, solidarity and solace a light masculine energy can offer. What are your stories of strength? How do you define solidarity? Can you create solace within yourself and provide it for others? In this workshop, we’ll build on the wisdom in our inner shapes of strength to provide a place of refuge for ourselves that we can offer out in the world.
This monthly series continues with Resilience, Wonder, Harvests, and Shadows
