The Power in Story Exploration (Intensive 3 of 3)

Stories have the power to help us understand ourselves and others. Stories help us find our way. Our identities, our relationships, our communities, and even large social systems, all revolve around unifying and fundamental stories that have grown within us, and into which we have grown. Stories can persuade, activate, motivate, and instruct but, above all, through story we can learn and transform. Through the series we will look at story as it lives in self, group and community, and the larger systems in which we are all situated, building on each intensive and deepening our capacities as we go. Series participants will be supported in the application of their learnings through group video conference calls following the Intensives 1 and 2.

INTENSIVE 3

Intensive 3 turns towards community and consideration of working with story in different contexts. Essential in this is consideration of the powerful – and at times insidious – systemic stories that underpin our individual and shared experiences. We explore a variety of work-forms for activating story, processes for reflection and integration, and consider the facilitation of what we call a ‘learning field’ – a context in which the vulnerability of sharing stories is both invited and compassionately supported.

MORE ABOUT THE POWER IN STORY SERIES
Throughout the series we explore:

• What is the power in story?

• How can we own our own story, and dwell in it, and come to know ourselves through it?

• There is great stability in the learning spirit. How do we keep that spirit alive in ourselves as we open to others’ stories?

• What is the thread of learning within community? How do we enliven that thread ethically through story?

• As we witness and participate in the movements and changes impacting our community and our planet, what holds us as the story changes?
