Story Weaving
The stories we tell ourselves determine the world we inhabit / live in.
Story-telling is an integral part of healing / recovery. (and helps us see the order hidden in chaos.)
It is through compassionate reflection, questioning and investigation on our journeys/paths, (values and beliefs), that we are able to make meaning of both our sufferings and our joys, our potentials and our limitations.
This allows us to move forward, lighter and with increased wholeness and confidence in our unique being.
Resilience is born out of Befriending our Authentic Self.
Learning to trust this inner guidance becomes a compass to rely on when all around one is falling apart.

Depression and / or anxiety
Grief and /or divorce
Life transitions

“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.”
Carl Jung
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human
freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

“Questioning is a basic tool for rebellion. It breaks open the stagnant hardened shells of the present, revealing ambiguity and opening up fresh options to be explored… Questioning can change your entire life. It can uncover hidden power and stifled dreams inside of you… things you may have denied for many years.”
Fran Peavey
